Class Experience

This 6-week course is designed to help students develop well-crafted, interesting sentences.  We will study different sentences types that allow writers to convey their message clearly and effectively.  

Week 1:  Writing assessment & goal setting
Week 2:  Simple sentences (subject/verb agreement, concise sentences)
Week 3:  Compound sentences (coordinating conjunctions, punctuation rules)
Week 4:  Complex sentences (subordinating conjunctions, punctuation rules)
Week 5:  Adding details (adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, prepositional phrase, etc.)
Week 6:  Adding personal tone and voice in writing & personal reflection of writing progress throughout course 

Classes will begin with a mini-lesson covering the grammatical rules associated with the sentence type.  Students will then practice writing their own sentences using the models provided.  Students will share their writing orally (reading it aloud) and/or post through the Outschool platform.  Students are encouraged to share their writing and contribute constructively to each other's writing.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the three major types of sentence structures (simple, compound, complex).
Students will learn how to correctly punctuate each sentence type.
Students will learn how to effectively create sentences to convey their message.
Students will learn how to give and receive constructive feedback about their writing.

Other Details

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

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!  I am an 18-year veteran teacher who specializes in high school English Language Arts and special education supports.  I've worked in a variety of classroom settings with many different types of learners.  I believe that all students are able to be successful in school when they are inspired by motivating and enthusiastic teachers.  I hope that my enthusiasm for learning and finding one's passion inspires your learner to pursue learning and develop their passions in life. In my free time, I enjoy Irish dancing, reading, camping, and playing the Irish sports of hurling and camogie.  

If you are interested in having your child take one of my classes, and the day/time do not work for you, please message me for additional availability.  My schedule and availability fluctuates from week to week depending on the time of year.
