Class Experience

In this fun writing course, students will learn to write their very own Create Your Own Adventure" Story. They will practice deciding on different endings for the main character. Then, they will get to write a simple choose your own adventure story. 

This class will be structured as follows: 
Week 1: Students will learn about Create Your Own Adventure Stories. We will talk about what makes them different than other stories. Students will decide on a topic for their story. 
Week 2: Students will develop the basic elements of a story. They will develop their characters, setting, and general plot. This will be developed using a story map. They will write the first part of their story and end with the "Choose the Next Step" portion. 
Week 3: Students will create ending one. On this week, students will create ending number one. If the audience chooses this ending, the story should continue to flow. 
Week 4: Students will create ending two. On this week, students will create their alternate ending for a different choice.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree in Education from Liberty University

Hello! My name is Kristen Freeman! I love to teach, and I have been a teacher for the last 5 years.  I love Language Arts, History, Phonics, Reading, and Writing! I believe that learning should be fun and exciting because learning is the most amazing thing. I am a wife, a stay-at-home mom, homeschool mom, and a teacher! 
I have a strong passion for education. I have a Bachelor's degree in education, a 120-hour TESOL, and a 30-hour Orton Gillingham certification! I have been a teacher for the last 10 years and have taught ESL online for the past 2 years. I have taught children of all ages during my teaching career, and I think that learning should be exciting no matter how old you are!
While I enjoy all types of classes, I am super passionate about reading, writing, and grammar! Children often struggle with these core areas and since they are the basis of education, they soon come to dislike reading and then learning. I believe that all children can learn and that sometimes it takes a different approach to unlock learning a new concept! That is why my classes focus on exciting approaches to basic content!
