Description

Class Experience

*Students will be given a different writing prompt each week* 
We will begin each class with a brief conversation about ourselves, our dogs, and what we've been up to during the week. Next, we'll talk about our writing prompt.  Based on the prompt, what genre are we writing?  Are we writing realistic fiction, fantasy, a fairy tale, or a personal narrative about our dogs? The teacher will give instruction and review the type of writing we're working on for the week, making sure students...

Students will benefit from practicing the writing process and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to write a story. Students will demonstrate the ability to use appropriate writing conventions and use their creativity to share fun stories about their beloved dogs.

Writing paper uploaded to print
Pencil
Crayons, colored pencils, or markers to color illustrations

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Observations, questioning, and work samples

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

After class, I ask that parents help students upload their work into the teacher's email for review.  Although, we are sharing our work in class, I will want more time to read their awesome stories on my own!
