Melissa B Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Has anyone taken this course? Are the stories read during the class period rather than before class? The reading list seems to imply this. If so, does this leave enough time for lecture/discussion and writing? And does it give the students enough time to really think on each story? Side FYI: Memoria Press Academy online classes are currently 10% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 The student has to read the story in advance. They're all in pdf format and are posted on the class page so there are no books to buy. In general, I think they do read parts of the story in class and then discuss them and they read Our Town aloud in its entirety as reader's theater because it's a play. The assignments are power point story arc charts, comprehension quizzes and short essays posted to a discussion forum. A student posts their essay and then responds to another student's essay. The posts are graded. The teacher uses the chat to ask questions that all students are expected to answer. A student can also post a question or comment in chat that the teacher will respond to orally. Trinqueta enjoyed this class a lot. She liked most of the stories they read and learned quite a bit about literary analysis. She needed about 3 to 4 hours a week outside of class time to do the reading and do the assignments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
