Read Along
2nd session
Welcome to the Read Along series on Schoolhouse! Each week, I will read a chapter of a pre-selected play/book and responding to questions regarding it. Sessions will consist of the tutor reading the novel out loud and learners having the opportunity to follow along, share their opinions, and analyze the text.
The last time I held this series back in 2021, learners said the read-along session was a great opportunity to practice their argumentation and analyzing skills, improve English language and comprehension, and grow their vocabulary!
List of books we will be reading:
- The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- A Bird in the House by Margaret Laurence
- More books TBD based on learner voting
I look forward to seeing you! :)

Read&Share club
4th session
In each session, every member recommends one book (each session has different topic of book, like about war, life, honor) they've recently read or are currently reading. Everyone shares a short explanation about their chosen book----what it's about, why they liked it (or don't), and anything
interesting they noticed. Then, we all vote on one of the recommended books to books to read together. Before the next session, members read the chosen book on their own. Next time, we come back and discuss it together----sharing opinions, ideas, favorite parts, and even what we might change if we were the author!

✍️⭐ 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 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.

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.
