Almost all of the registrations are in, and Kim Nelson has sent out updated class rosters to the tutors. I'm excited to see this class fill up. For those who are new to my classes, I will use e-mails and this blog to keep parents and students informed and connected. If you are curious about the class, feel free to peruse past blog posts, especially the Weekly Class Notes.
The students will be reading Animal Farm (Orwell) and A Christmas Carol (Dickens) this semester. I will buy these books for the students. I order almost all of my books from Dover Publications because they are so inexpensive. Dover doesn't carry Animal Farm, so I get used copies at book sales, Half-Price Books, etc. If you have a copy of Animal Farm that you would like to use, let me know, and I will adjust the supply fee.
The only items your student needs to bring to class, along with some paper and a pen/pencil, is a notebook or folder to keep track of assignments, handouts, worksheets, and class notes. Shortly, you will receive an invitation to join the Dropbox folder with all of the study guides, handouts, worksheets, etc.
I'm looking forward to a new group of students and starting a fresh year of writing. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
