Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Non-writers and creative thinkers, let’s write a Silly Spooky Story! In this class, learners will follow along as I read a silly, spooky story, then they will write their own version to share with the class! A perfect class for some Halloween fun!

This class will focus on describing characters using sensory language and word referents as well as using verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs to create other words for "said."  

Class breakdown:
~Teacher will read a short story
~Learners will learn about descriptive writing and complete a graphic organizer for sentences to put in their own version
~Learners will complete a structured template of their version using the sentences they created
~Learners will share stories with class
~Learners can draw and color a picture of their story after class and post it to the classroom for everyone to see!

I look forward to hearing your silly spooky story!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Baylor University - Waco, Texas
Hello! Mrs. Alison here! I am a certified K-12 ELA/ESL writing teacher for the state of Texas with over eleven years of teaching experience in the classroom and online and degrees in psychology, linguistics, and sociology. I am also a published children's book author! Mix that all together and you have someone who desires to see the next generation of learners be equipped to change the world through writing - and be who they were made to be! 
My “Be You & Become a Better Writer” classes are for learners between the ages of 8-12 who want to embrace who they are while learning to become better at writing. It is my desire to have learners feel the freedom to express themselves through writing while developing the skills to articulate it, whether they are writing fiction stories, poems, essays, or even personal experiences. I believe everyone has a story to tell and a voice to share. I want learners to know the potential each one of them has when they put pen to paper (or fingers to keys).  
In my classroom, learners will think critically and be able to communicate clearly through writing all while being creative and passionate about the things they love!
I love meeting learners from all over the world and getting to learn from them as well. So far I have taught learners from over 35 countries and all but 3 states! 
I am looking forward to growing and learning along with all the learners in my classroom!
