Description
Class Experience
Unit 3 of Third Grade English Language Arts uses drama and poetry to teach common core standards, covering literature, foundational skills, writing, speaking and listening. Students practice reading for fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. They will learn about plot, character, setting, lines, stanza, rhyme, rhythm and more. There is a strong focus on grammar, which includes abstract nouns, conjunctions, punctuation, and using possessives. There are weekly spelling word lists for learners to practice and a weekly quiz. There are also weekly writing assignments with students practicing letter writing, using dictionaries, writing poetry, reflection and story-telling.
I have bachelor’s degrees in English, journalism, and political science, and am currently a master’s student in American history. I was a newspaper editor and reporter for 15 years, director of a social justice center for three years, and have been teaching English Language Arts, English As a Second Language, and social studies for the past five years. I am currently co-director of the Foster Woods Folk School.
This flex class is for learners who just want to practice their English Language Arts Skills, as well as students who want to get a letter of competition. For learners who are just practicing skills, homework is optional but highly recommended. For those learners seeking a letter of completion, there is 3-4 hours of homework to be completed each week. See the rubric below for how the learner will be evaluated. For those students seeking a letter of completion. I will provide an assessment each weekend of the previous week’s assignments.

As we study literature, in particular the traditional fables and folktales, students will engage with stories from different cultures, religions, and times. Some of these stories may contain depictions of violence. All subjects and topics will be covered in a manner that is as age-appropriate as possible, but some learners may be especially sensitive to these topics.
