This is a fun ongoing class to encourage beginning writers to write more while learning to describe animals using various adjectives and verbs. When learners practice writing at an early age, they become more creative and confident in their writing skills as they grow. Writing is easier as we brainstorm ideas together as a class. I will encourage writing using descriptive words for the animals. Weekly Overview: Since I give the students clues to guess the animal each week, I do not list the animals we will be studying about here in the description. However, there will be a new animal taught each week, so learners will not need to worry about repeating an animal that they have learned in any of my classes. We will begin each class learning about an animal. We will then talk about different adjectives and verbs to describe the animal and their behaviors. Students should come prepared with a notebook or paper on which to do their writing. There is a printable pdf file in the "Welcome" message you received when you enrolled. You may print this for wide-lined paper for students to use when writing their stories if they would like. This may help them write neatly and organize their work. After class discussion, students will be given time to write several sentences about the animal using adjectives and verbs. Near the end of class, learners will have the opportunity to share their writing and build confidence in speaking with others. No one will be required to share, but may choose to do so if they would like encouragement and applause. NOTE: I do not tolerate bullying or teasing in my class. I want everyone to feel safe and happy in my class. I love teaching and want students to feel friendship with one another and enjoy being together.
Learning Goals
Learners will:
• Expand their creative writing skills.
• Write about animals and build their personal writing notebooks.
• Share their written work and practice their public speaking skills if they choose to do so.
• Make friends and feel comfortable and confident in our class.
