Class Experience

Wherever you are in your writing journey, this course is for you. I'm not exaggerating. 

In this student-centered,  fun and lively class, we start at the very beginning, reviewing how to create an outline and how to write a paragraph. Then the course takes students step by step through writing paraphrases, summaries, creative story telling, writing from research, responding to essay prompts, and writing formal story critiques. It may sound impossible and overwhelming, but I assure you it is possible and very comfortable for even reluctant writers. 

We start each class with a game that reviews a concept we have covered in class. We then proceed to learn new material. Students are encouraged but not required to share their work with the class. This course is also a great supplement to your history curriculum.

In my years teaching this writing method, I have seen students who struggled to write more than a handful of sentences at the start of the year finishing the year with an original, five page research paper. And it wasn't just a one-time occurrence. Wherever they are now, your student will grow and be challenged throughout the course, but they will also find the support and encouragement that they need to grow into a more comfortable and skillful writer.

This course will  focus primarily on writing structures, elements of style, and vocabulary development. We will also touch on some aspects of grammar in some classes. 

Please note this is a two semester course. This listing is only for the second semester. Students will need to register for the first semester separately.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm excited for the opportunity to see you or your child in class. I have over 25 years of teaching experience with all things English including writing, grammar, and literature. I have an MA in Linguistics and a BA in English Literature from the University of DE as well as an MAME from Trinity School for Ministry. I love the English language, and I love teaching. I have taught English classes to middle school, high school, and college students. I like to make my classes fun and exciting by including games, music, and technology. (And you might even get a visit from my tortoise, Shell.) My classes are student-centered and discussion-based (not lecture heavy). When I'm not teaching, I'm probaby working on my most recent novel, reading, or playing basketball with my son. I can't wait to see you in class!
