Class Experience
In this class, I will provide private 1:1 tutoring for creative writing students in grades 3-10. We will write a story together based on topics I can provide or the student can bring topics to class as well. Some of the topics we can write about include the following: 1. If you could become invisible, where would you go first? What would you do there? 2. Imagine you live on a deserted island, and there’s a big storm coming. 3. What would you do if you found a magic compass on the sidewalk that showed you how to get to wherever you wanted to go in under 3 minutes? 4. You’re on a quest through a hidden underground world that no one has ever seen. What magical creatures do you come across? What do they look like, and how do they act? If you were the ruler of a kingdom, what would its laws be? Write a constitution for your society. My teaching style involves allowing the student to share and talk as much as possible. I encourage students to ask questions and come up with their own sentences as often as possible. Finally, I like to include fun educational games with my lessons, when possible. I can open many more slots, so if you don't see a day or time that works for your student, please let me know! Please be sure your student is capable of paying attention and participating for 45 minutes before signing up your student for the class. Your student should be able to write basic sentences like, “I see a dog running in the field.” I will screen-share my writing for them to see. For attendance and rescheduling, please be advised I adhere to the Outschool guidelines and procedures. I am unable to accommodate rescheduling for those who need to reschedule within two days of their class time. I do not allow for make-up classes for classes your learner has missed. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. I hope to meet your learner soon!
Learning Goals
Students will learn creative writing techniques and skills to become more effective writers.
