And finally we will have the chance to 


Every week the class will follow the following format:

⭐ Warm up and creative writing and sharing together (10 minutes)
Every week we will being class with a group warm-up activity. We might use a photo that is funny / interesting, a story prompt, or an interesting artefact to prompt our ideas. Each learner will be able to share and together we will create a piece of writing together, or create a fun description or story about the photograph or artefact. 

⭐ Mini lesson (10 minutes)
Each class will include a mini lesson about an element of story writing that will help us grow as writers. Examples include setting, characters, plot, story structure, adding details to our story, using words that WOW our readers and reviewing/editing our work. 

⭐ Independent Writing (15 minutes)
Everyone will have the opportunity to work independently on whatever story they want to write. I will be available to offer prompts and support to learners who want it. I will also provide some resources such as graphic organizers to help learhers record their ideas if they would like it. 

⭐ Story Sharing and Review (10 minutes)
At the end of class every learner will have the choice to share their stories. This can include reading the story, showcasing their illustrations or whatever each writer feels comfortable with. I am always available after class for learners to submit their writing if they want to share with the teacher instead of their classmates. 


Throughout class I am available to support writers, offer input and provide resources to help writers record their ideas should they want. Each learner will have at least two check ins during the personal writing time. If you feel that your learner may be shy or anxious about participating in class please feel free to contact me in advance and let me know.
