This class meets the common core English Language Arts standards for writing in grades 6-8: Students will write arguments to support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence. Specifically, students will be able to:
•	Introduce claims and organize reasons and evidence clearly
•	Support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence, using credible sources
•	Establish and maintain a formal writing style
•	Develop and strengthen writing by planning, revising, and editing

I’m so excited to offer this class! I am a certified middle grades and secondary English Language Arts teacher. In addition to teaching for Outschool, I also teach for the College of Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. As a former 8th grade English Language Arts classroom teacher, I have a repertoire of teaching strategies for addressing content standards. I love to make classes fun and interactive while striving for mastery learning by differentiating instruction for learners as needed. I’m looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm and experience with you!
