Prerequisites
Because this class is aimed at learners who are in grades 6-8, students need to have completed a minimum of 5th grade level ELA (a formal curriculum is not required). If you have questions about this, please reach out.
Materials needed:
"True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi
"A Long Walk to Water" by Linda Sue Park
Shorter selections will be provided for students. These books can be purchased from Amazon, ThriftBooks, Abebooks, or even borrowed from the library (although I prefer students to have their own copy). Students do not need a specific version of these books. If purchased used, these books can be found for a total of around $10.
Parents also need a *free* account with Teachers Pay Teachers to download and print *free* resources from that site for their learners.
All other material will be common household and school supplies, or PDFs sent in the classroom.
