In this one time class, students will form an opinion about a topic, Basketball OR Football. Students will think about and brainstorm reasons that support their topic. We will go through the parts of the graphic organizer together and work step by step to complete the graphic organizer for our opinions with specific reasons and details. There are two different options for graphic organizers, so students can decide which one they want to use. Sentence starters are available to help students form complete thoughts. Students will be able to talk through their ideas aloud and receive support to write it down on their graphic organizer. If there is time, students will then take their ideas from their graphic organizer and write it into a paragraph. Students have the option to draw a picture to go with their writing as well. On the sentence starter sheet, students will be able to check their work with a quick checklist to make sure they have included all parts in their paragraph. At the end of class, students will share their writing. After class, I would love to see the students writing so you can upload it in a review or in a private message. I will respond back with feedback for every piece of writing shared. Also, I would love to see what you thought of my class by writing a review. If you have additional questions, please message me and I will respond promptly.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, my name is Meryl Blum and I look forward to teaching your child. I have been teaching for the past 15 years in public schools. I have taught elementary and high school special education both in a small group environment and push in support in the classrooms.
I have my Bachelors degree in elementary education with endorsements in reading and special education. I also have endorsements in ESL, middle school language arts and teacher leader. I have my Masters degree in Reading to be a reading specialist.
At Outschool, I will be teaching elementary students lessons in reading, writing and math that relate to common core standards. I also specialize in teaching helpful tech tips as well as study skills and strategies. I love teaching because I like helping students gain confidence in themselves as learners and individuals. I look forward to work with the families in Outschool soon.
When I am not teaching, I love to spend time outside, read books, watch reality tv shows, listen to music and bake. I also like to create projects on my Cricut.Reviews
