Since 2011, Before Papers Come Paragraphs has been taught in both the classroom and online.  The online option is a hybrid model of correspondence and teacher interaction.  Using the Google platform, including Gmail, Classroom, Hangout, and Drive, students study lessons independently, complete assignments, and submit them for grading.  They have unlimited teacher access through email, Classroom stream, and instant messaging, and they have regular teacher-student video chats to ensure understanding and progress.  

In 2020, I will continue to accept new students for the course; however, I will also gradually offer an alternative option to parents who are seeking free, supplemental writing materials.  This option is a parent-led version of the course, which will be made available in individual lessons as I am able to complete them (no time guarantees).  These lessons will be in their beta-edition format and will therefore be offered free of charge for as long as I am developing the course.  I only ask that parents submit feedback on the lessons periodically to help me bring the course into its final form.  When the course is complete, I plan to remove the free beta-edition option and offer it in print for purchase.

Please note that I will no longer offer the live, online version of the course, except by special request for groups of three or more students.  I may also be available to offer the live, classroom version of the course to cottage schools and homeschool groups in my area; however, this option will not be possible until late summer 2020.  Email me if you are interested in this possibility.
