Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
In this workshop, your students will develop a character that they will fully develop to be used in multiple story starters. Students will be guided through the process using slides and discussion. In the first part of our session, our focus will be developing the character. In the second part of our session, our focus will be on character meetups in which students will introduce their character to a partner/group. It is in this meet-up that the student will create story starters using the character they created as well as their partner/group. Students will work in a collaborative setting in which their creativity can soar. Students will need to have background knowledge of the elements of a narrative piece.

Learning Goals

Students will fully develop a character that will be used in the creation of a writing piece following the elements of the plot in narrative writing.

Other Details

Supply List
Your student will need to have a notebook and writing utensil or use Google Docs/Word.
External Resources

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education
I live in southwestern Oklahoma. I hold a BA in Education, M. Ed in Secondary Social Sciences from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, Oklahoma, and a M. Ed in Curriculum & Instruction Technology Education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant, Oklahoma.  While I am new to Outschool, I am a certified teacher for the states of Oklahoma and Texas. I have been teaching for  13 years in the areas of English, History, and Special Education to middle and high school students.  I have also coached middle school cross country, track, softball, and basketball. At my current school, I am coaching softball and the Academic Teams. I am also an ESL Tutor for Chinese students who are mastering the English Language. 
I am a life-long learner. I love finding professional development opportunities to help not only fine tune my teaching craft but also to gain strategies to help my students. I was named the 2022 VFW Teacher of the Year for Oklahoma. I am currently working on my Google Educator Level 2 certificate as well as becoming a National History Day coordinator for my district. 
My experiences as an educator and coach help me to empower students to be true to themselves, be creative, and have fun learning.  My goal is to inspire students to be creative and continue learning no matter what topic/skill they are focused on at the moment. 
I look forward to our continued learning!
