tmstranger Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 For those that have taken this class, what is involved in the actual class time? Is there some type of socratic discussion of the history topics? What "happens" in class? I'm really trying to "step up" my 8th grader's history (next year) and I'm researching my options...thanks!

blondeviolin Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 My oldest is enrolled in ancient history this year. She's young for it, but is Language and history strong. The majority of kids in her class are middle schoolers. Her class involves a discussion board. They are required to answer one question on Monday and two responses on Wednesday. On Friday she has either an outline, a quiz, or summary due. She is required to maintain a timeline. She's a delayed student so she doesn't participate in the lecture; she views it after the fact. The lecture does involve students, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayed may work for our schedule better, if it is available as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ. Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Are the discussion posts required for students not in the delayed section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Sorry. I just saw the response.. we've been busy. :p The discussion questions are in a forum just like most other online classes. As a delayed student, she is still required to respond to these. The only difference between her and the other students is that she is not required to "attend" the lecture. She's still required to view it, but not live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
