Lessons
Fantastic Worlds and Where to Find Them consists of five lessons and a final exam. In each lesson we will cover a different fantastic world, and we will describe its particularities, its inhabitants, and the different places to visit while we are in that world.
Assignments
There will be four assignments and four extra credits, each of them worth 30 points. There will also be a final exam and a bonus lesson/assignment. They are worth 30 points each.
The Assignments and Extra Credits will vary. You can have short answer questions, multiple choices, matching, true or false, fill in the blanks, creative writing, art projects, opinion questions, puzzles, watching movies, etc. There will always be something for everyone and you won’t get bored!
This class has one Final Due Date, which for the upcoming term will be June 15th, 2020. That means you can send your Homework any time during the term, but please try not to leave everything for the last minute. Trust me, it will be more difficult for you!
