✍️⭐ Crafting Captivating Narratives ✍️⭐

    9th session

There are only 15 slots available for each version of this series, so register quickly! To make sure the series can be hosted, we need at least 5 learners registered by the start date. This six-week series is perfect for our narrative writers of all levels, whether aspiring or professional. Through the power of the Narrative Arc, we'll learn how we can shape stories to give the reader choice. And for what could be the first time ever, we'll have the option to use the second perspective in our writing. Make sure to come prepared with access to Google services such as Google Docs and Google Slides, as well as access to Schoolhouse Assessments (built in). That's all you need! This series serves as the first part to the Creative Writing Sequence I will be hosting. There will be two possible paths, and several available courses. Please request make-up sessions through [this](https://forms.gle/1yFX6yLMLFFcjcXf6) form at least 24-hours in advance. Sessions will be hosted with 1 or more learners, so request as needed. Note: This series will be fast paced. My availability is really limited, so in order to finish within the ten week margin, if I am unable to host both days, or you are forced to miss both weekly sessions, slides and a review activity will be made available in the assessments folder for your convenience! 🙂 Extra Note: If you've already completed the series, I recommend that you still register again. The main group will be going further than the last times this has been hosted, and there will be both extra enrichment opportunities, and the chance to "teach the group." Additionally, if you've completed the series priorly, you're welcome to apply as a co-host! I'd love to have you. 📏 Session Length: Estimate around 6 sessions and up to 4 office hour sessions within a span of 10 weeks. Dates and times are tentative.

Let me know if you are interested in participating, but the times and/or dates don't work out for you. I may be willing to make an adjustment. Note: This series will be fast paced.

Word of the Day!

    48th session

New learners are always welcome!! We're entering a new season and kicking off a new chapter of words. In this series, there are two sessions per day, twice a week for a whole year! How it works:  We go over the pronunciation, definition, synonyms and antonyms, origin (and maybe some fun facts), and how to use the word in a sentence. There is always a super fun Kahoot about the word. Then we have Idiom of the Day, where we introduce a new idiom, its meaning, and how it's used in a sentence.  Then, at the end, we have two quotes of the day! They may be inspirational, or funny, or both!  I hope to see you there! These sessions are perfect for expanding your vocabulary. Changes from the original series: - Sessions will be hosted every other day. - Learners who misbehave in any way that slightly defers the Schoolhouse policy will be removed. - Our original host will not be involved in this series.

24-Hour Study Session: Breaking the SHW Record!

    Ended Sun, Jul 28, 2024

This is a series consisting of 8 back-to-back 3-hour sessions to make for a "mega-session" lasting for a total of 24 hours. 🎉 You are not required to join all eight sessions. Come and join us for the greatest, longest, most exciting study session EVER on Schoolhouse! We aim to shatter the record for the longest study session ever hosted by participating in this 24-hour mega study session. Come grind your summer plans, whether it be: - conducting research in the most esoteric depths of mathematical analysis, - cleaning out your bedroom which you have not been able to make yourself clean for the past year, - torturing your fingers to master La Campanella on the violin, - anything in between! You do not have to stay for the entire 24 hours, as long as you are able to come. We welcome as many tutors in as many different timezones as possible to cohost the session! This record-breaking event cannot happen without a joint effort of many, many tutors. In the spirit of most study space series on Schoolhouse, we will also use the well-celebrated Pomodoro technique of 25-minute study times and 5-minute breaks. We can do this! 💪
