Literature Genres is a graded class discussing Adventure, Mystery, Historical Fiction, Humor, Fantasy, and Realistic Fiction. Each Literature class will cover not only the genre, but literary functions and story traits (plot, character, mood, setting, etc.) This class requires active participation in reading aloud, discussion, public speaking, and peer review. Students should be proficient readers and able to finish each book between classes, this will require diligence and time management! There will be weekly homework required for class.
Additional book purchase required: Howl’s Moving Castle, The City of Ember, Brother’s Keeper, The Bad Guys, Bridge to Terabithia, Wonder. Students MUST bring the books to class for discussion participation. Audiobooks do not provide sufficient reference or adequate academic skills acquisition.
PLEASE NOTE:
Students must bring a 3 ring binder clearly labeled with their name, tab divider inserts, and loose leaf paper, see recommendations here. (Zipper binders work best.)
A weekly update is sent to all enrolled families via email on Mondays, this includes details for all currently running classes, upcoming events, and field trip opportunities.
All students are welcome to share lunch from 12-1, there is also the opportunity to register as the “SNACK ATTACK” entrepreneur and sell snacks or treats during this time.
Unless noted, all classes are drop off at Westfield Washington Public Library and do not require parent participation. Review the rules of being at the library with your student before classes begin.
All classes are academically rigorous, teams focused, and require a high level of independence. We do our best to accommodate learning needs, however large classes do not provide direct 1-1 support for students. Your careful consideration of class requirements and the environment before enrolling ensures a safe and positive experience for everyone. All participants will be evaluated on the first day to ensure they are academically prepared for the group learning environment.
Parents may request students to exit the building alone for pickup however, instructors will not be held responsible for missing students under these circumstances. Unless otherwise notified, instructors request students to stay in or near the classroom until a parent arrives. They are not allowed to roam around the library unsupervised and instructors may not leave until all students are picked up.
The Academy of Chaos maintains a ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY for any inappropriate language, topics, or physical behavior. In the first event a student requests to leave class, is verbally or physically aggressive, or demonstrates violent behavior, a guardian will be immediately contacted for pick-up and the student will be unenrolled from class without a refund.
