Lit for Teens Junior is for preteens/teens, ages 12-15. This is a Junior High literature course for grades 7-9.
The emphasis in Lit for Teens Junior is on enjoying/discussing literature with peers. Literature Guides will be provided by the instructor for most selections. These guides emphasize vocabulary, reading comprehension, plot, character development, and common literary devices. Students will be required to read from an unabridged edition for each selection.
A homeschool parent/adult must be at home during each Lit for Teens Junior class meeting to assist with any computer/technical difficulties and to ensure that the student is focused and not multi-tasking.
Students and/or parents are welcome to grade the assignments as we go over them each week in class; however, official grades will not be given.
