Class Experience

Being able to communicate and express oneself well is a very important life skill.  Practicing writing expository paragraphs can help a student improve their ability to explain a concept and connect with others. 

In this axolotl themed, one-time writing class, each student will work to each write his or her own expository paragraph about axolotls.   Through the use of a Google slides presentation, students will first learn scientific  facts about the axolotl, as well as review the essential parts of writing any effective expository  paragraph.  The teacher will then lead the students step-by step to help them apply this knowledge and write his or her own paragraph utilizing the information presented.

 A graphic organizer will be provided for students if they wish to print it out and fill it in as they progress through class.  Students will be invited to share their writing with the class at the end of the lesson, but this is not required.  Paper and a pen or pencil will be required for this class.

We will play an axolotl themed Kahoot trivia game at the end of class, if time allows.

Learning Goals

Students will be able to identify the essential parts of an expository paragraph.  Students will be able to write a paragraph which reflects their knowledge on a topic and includes a topic sentence, supporting details, and a conclusion.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there!  My name is Maura Cohen. I have a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and just about twenty years teaching experience, in both traditional classrooms and online teaching environments. I have taught children of all ages, from preschool through high school. I was a certified public school teacher for years in both second and fourth grade before staying home to teach and raise my own three children.  In recent years, I discovered online teaching and I have loved the flexibility it provides ever since.  I am a very friendly, energetic teacher who loves to have fun while helping my students get excited about working together and discovering new things.  I love to teach and I love to travel. I have been to many European countries, and I have lived for several years in both Japan and Italy.   When I am not in the classroom or traveling, I love spending time with my daughter and two sons, reading, making crafts, and eating my husband's amazing food. (I am very lucky because he is a professional chef!) I hope to see your child in my classroom soon!  We will chat about topics they enjoy, practice social skills and teamwork, and have lots of fun!
