Hello everybody, my name is Lem. You've been digging through classes, And you found this gem. We're going to learn new words, like prodigious, egregious. We'll write a rap too, but nothing nefarious. Spots are filling up, so you better act fast! Sign up now, don't miss this class! In this fun creative writing class, we will be expanding our vocabulary with up to 3 uncommon English words each week. We will start each class with word games designed to teach new words and literary devices. We will inculcate these words into our memory by writing them into a poem with simple rhyming schemes. We will study and deconstruct popular rap songs and nursery rhyming and study their structure and the literary devices they use. We will write poems in each class, using the structure and literary devices learned. Class 1: Rhyming: simple and advanced, AA Rhyming Scheme Class 2: XBXB Rhyming Scheme. Class 3: ABAB Rhyming Scheme Class 4: Limericks Students will have the option to read or rap their poems at the end of each class. The class will contain slides, and we will use the chat function on ZOOM to write the poem. We will meet twice a week for 2 weeks.

What do you enjoy? What makes you come alive?
Each person is unique in their interests and passions and one of the joys of life is discovering and exploring them.
I have and Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto in Environmental Physics, and was an Environmental Consultant for 3 years before I discovered my love for teaching and mentoring. From 2015-2017, I traveled around Asia, volunteering as a teacher in rural communities where I taught English, Math, Science and Dance to children ranging from 4-16 years of age. I have been an online teacher to children for 5 years, using gamification to keep learners interested and engaged throughout each lesson.
My interests and expertise are in mindfulness, meditation, music, dance, gaming, and travel. I would be honored to share my passions, fascinations, and knowledge with your children in a fun, creative, and exciting way that will ignite a fire in them as well.
Did I mention I like gaming? Play is an integral part of the human experience and enhances cognitive, social, and mental well-being. Games teach teamwork, sportsmanship, critical thinking, and leadership. I started a company called Good Games where we create a positive space for young gamers to play, learn, grow, and have fun.
