In this one-time class, students will learn to write strong and clear descriptions about an animal they design. Designed to help reluctant writers, this class will give students tools to use descriptive language in their own writing. At the beginning of the lesson, students will learn how to use the five senses to make their writing more descriptive and will practice with a game called "What's in my Bag?". Students will then draw their own never-before seen animal. They will be able to choose what it looks like and will be encouraged to use their imagination. After drawing a picture of their animal, students will then write a descriptive paragraph about the animal that they designed using full sentences and their five senses. At the end of class, students will be given the option to share their paragraph and picture of their animal with the class. No prior knowledge is needed for this class. If your learner needs extra support or differentiated instruction, please reach out. I am more than happy to accommodate!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I'm Kate and I am a certified teacher in Canada. I have my Bachelors of Education Degree from Nipissing University. I am qualified to teach the Primary and Junior divisions (all subject areas), and have a major in English. As well, I am qualified to teach Special Education and Intermediate English (Kindergarten to Grade 12).
I have been teaching in the classroom for more than five years. I have been an elementary school teacher for one year, and a special education and high school mathematics teacher for two. As well, I have taught ESL online part-time for a year. My passion and expertise is teaching writing, reading, and grammar skills. My language arts classes focus on vocabulary, fluency, reading and writing skills, comprehension and delving into and making connections to the world outside the classroom.
A bit about me, I am an avid reader and always have a book in my hand! I enjoy living an active lifestyle and spending time in nature. I love being a teacher! I enjoy making learning engaging and meaningful, and as well creating lifelong learners in my students. All students are welcome in my classroom. I look forward to seeing your child in class! :)
**Note: I am available for private tutoring. As well, if there are any classes you would like me to create, don't hesitate to message me and I will see what I can do. Thanks! **Reviews
