This ten-week beginner writing class uses storytelling to help kids develop a solid foundation for writing skills, using the characters they love. In progressive steps, they will build their confidence so that the writing is easy and fun. Before they start the class, they need to learn their small and upper case letters. They can learn this very easily using an app or a workbook. I recommend Alpha Tots, Duolingo ABCs, and Dora's ABCs. Then they will learn to write basic words and sentences,...
They will learn 200 basic words and sight words, simple sentences, and basic grammar (capitals, periods). They will build their confidence and develop foundational writing skills.
I have over twenty years of experience teaching writing, language arts, and ESL. I currently fun a successful after-school writing program in the Los Angeles and Culver City School Districts. Also, I have two published novels - both acclaimed books, making many best of lists. The last one was listed as one of NPR's best novels of 2018. I've taught every level of writer, from ones who have a hard time writing a sentence to ones who can write novels.
Homework Offered
They will watch videos and do about fifteen minutes of homework every day or two hours on the weekend. They can do as much or as little as they like. I will add an extra bonus week at the end to finish whatever they haven't done.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Once a week, parents send me a package with their student's writing from the week. I will send an email back with instructions for what to work on, and encouragement for the student about their fabulous writing!Grades Offered
This can really help kids who have fallen behind in school and need some extra help, no matter what their special needs might be.
This is for any native speaker or ESL learner who wants to improve their writing, especially if they make a lot of basic mistakes. If you are an ESL learner and want to practice pronunciation and speaking, join my ESL Flex class.
Paper and markers
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
I give them a lot of fun possibilities to explore their imaginations. They are writing about anything in their imaginations. It's how they have the most fun and get very enthusiastic about writing. The videos do not have any inappropriate material. I try to make it super fun.
I create all of my own videos and material.
I love helping my students improve their writing and seeing their confidence grow. My classes are fun and inclusive. I have over twenty years of experience teaching in a multi-sensory and interactive way: English, literature, fiction,...
