The learner will have a better understanding of their writing strengths and weakness as they break down the writing process and discover their writing potential.

Class Experience


There are many ways for students to learn and understand the writing process. I believe in doing, not just speaking. As students begin to write, and express themselves, they will discover methods that work best for them. During class, students will use a computer, pencil/pen and paper. 

General Class plan:
1. Class will begin with a 5 minute uninterrupted writing session where each student will spend time jotting down words and ideas. They won't need to focus on spelling or grammar...

TLW (The Learner Will):
TLW-Learn to free write.
TLW-Turn in homework assignments on time using outschool platform. 
TLW-Learn to proofread and edit their work. 
TLW-create and understand how to use outlines, word and sentence maps etc
TLW-Learn and understand the meaning of paragraphs and how they are structured.
TLW-Write  3 3-5 paragraph essays and share it with the classes if they choose to.

I am offering this class because I love writing and found my passion for writing at a very early age. I am a successful children's author and freelance writer. I have published several informational pieces and nonfiction, and realistic fiction books. My personal experience makes this a unique offering because I have been writing for years and would like to share with students why writing is important and how it can be fun and helpful.
