Beginner Level
Join our 50 Word Writing class to learn how to write short emails or letters and short stories! This class is suitable for early writers who have begun to write multi-sentence texts. Students can prepare for the Cambridge KET (CEFR A2) or just come to learn the next level of writing before joining a formal writing class. Each session will offer a prompt for students to write from. For an email/letter, they will be given a 3-point prompt to answer. For the short story, they will have a 3 picture prompt they will write about. We will work on skills such as capitalization, punctuation, writing clearly, having a logical order, good vocabulary and grammar, and focusing on the prompt. The ultimate goal of the class is to finish both an email/letter and a short story in one class. Some learners may have to work up to this goal, while others will be able to do it right away. Regardless, the teacher will meet each learner at their level and work with them to improve and complete the goal.
Learning Goals
1. Develop proficiency in crafting short emails and letters, focusing on clarity, coherence, and conciseness.
2. Enhance storytelling skills by creating engaging and coherent short stories within a limited word count.
3. Improve writing mechanics, including capitalization, punctuation, and grammar, to ensure clear and effective communication.
4. Strengthen critical thinking and creativity through responding to prompts and incorporating imaginative elements into writing pieces.
