Join this fun, creative, Christmas writing class this holiday season! We will be writing letters to Santa from the perspective of a well-known character as well as letters from Santa to the character. We will work on brainstorming, organization, character development, voice, spelling, and punctuation as we write the letters. The class will be structured with time for teacher presentation and time for creative writing. Questions are welcome and support can be given as needed during the writing time. Students may book a private writing session if they need more spelling and writing help. My style is one of encouragement so that students have fun and enjoy the creative writing process. Week One: ~Pre-Writing organization of a 3 paragraph letter to Santa ~Character sketching/traits ~Begin rough draft of letter Week Two: ~Final writing, editing, adding adjectives, quotation marks, and punctuation ~Sharing of letters in class Week Three: ~Pre-writing organization of a 3 paragraph letter from character ~Brainstorm acts of kindness to be performed by character ~Begin rough draft of letter Week Four: ~Final writing, editing, adding adjectives, quotation marks, and punctuation ~Sharing of letters in class
