Class experience
US Grade 4 - 6
This is an amazing writing class! Classes include worksheets (attached in the Outschool classroom), classroom discussion, and writing assignments. I like to create an atmosphere where all students can appreciate and enjoy one another's writing. This is a very positive and encouraging class. For each weekly writing assignment, I give students written feedback on what they did well and how they can improve. Students will gain confidence and writing skills as they progress through this...

They will put what they've learned into practice as they write the following: Narrative Essays Character Descriptions Character Monologues Hooks Story Beginnings Story Endings Short Stories Poetry (Acrostic, Concrete, Limerick, Free Verse, Epic, Sonnet, Ballad) Speeches Plays Free From and Journal Writing Opinion Writing Citing and Explaining Evidence Reflective Writing Writing in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Person, All-Knowing Narrator, and Limited Narrator Writing a Short Graphic Story Writing a Review Impromptu Writing Grammar and spelling The writing process (plan, organize, write, get feedback, rewrite) In addition, students will gain confidence in their own ability to write, and enjoy one another's writing.
I love working with kids! I have 14 years of teaching experience, and I have taught in both traditional school settings and as a homeschool parent. I am passionate about helping kids at all levels of their reading and writing journey. It's so exciting when I see a student gain confidence as a reader/writer or when I can help a young aspiring writer achieve their dreams. My writing experience includes writing copy for marketing materials, ghost writing for corporate executives, technical writing, writing newspaper articles, and writing instructions for digital technology applications. Managing a corporate internal newsletter was one of my favorite projects. I created the newsletter design, interviewed and wrote articles about team members, and managed the editing and submission process for all the contributors. As a hobby, I love to write short stories, poetry, and songs. I can't imagine my life without writing. My education includes a BA in Communications and a Master of Science in Technical and Professional Communication (MSTPC). Because I have completed 2 years of my BA and all of my MS classes online, I am skilled with the various aspects of online learning. I love using what I have learned to help kids become better at reading and writing.
Homework Offered
Homework will vary each week, depending on the topic explored. There will be activities and worksheets that we will plan to finish in class. If a student doesn't finish during class, they can finish it for homework. Most weeks, there will be a writing assignment that will be due on the last day of class for that week. The length of these writing assignments will vary depending on the type of writing. For example, Cinquain and Haiku poems are only a few words, while their short story will be 300 to 700 words.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
After each weekly writing assignment, students will receive a written review. This review includes what they did well and any suggestions I have for how they can improve.Grades Offered
Each week, worksheets and other materials will be attached in Outschool for students to print out. There are no special items students need to purchase. Students should come to each class with a pen or pencil, paper, and any worksheets that I have made available in Outschool for that week. The Outschool Classroom should be checked for worksheets and classroom materials within 24 hours before the first day of class each week.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
