How we conduct online classes
Before the first day of online class
- Englist will send parents the details of when class will take place and any relevant links and information students will need.
- Students, or students’ parents, must check that everything is in working order before the first day of class begins. This includes making sure students are able to sign in, there is stable internet access, microphones and earphones are working, and that they have all of the materials they need for class ready.
During class
- Students are expected to sign in to class on time. Online classes are different in format than physical classes, but classroom rules still apply. This means students should only be speaking in English, they should not be snacking or eating meals during class, and no other distractions should be present (including chatting to other people off camera).
- During class time, students’ cameras need to be turned on the whole time except during break time. During breaktime, please make sure the student doesn’t accidentally sign out of the class.
Follow-up issues
If any technical issues arise during class, or if parents have questions after class is over, they are welcome to reach out to Englist administrative staff.

How John Warner’s R.O.A.S. Method and Reading Like a Writer Make Students Better Writers
The short writing piece above, written by my Writing Essentials student Mumu, was a response to a creative writing warm-up exercise I did in each of my classes this past semester. I call it “The Tree.” For this assignment, I asked each student to imagine a single tree in the middle of a field. Then, they had complete freedom to describe that setting in whatever way they chose. The one catch was that they had to do it from the perspective of a person feeling a strong feeling or emotion, and they could not name that emotion in their writing.
