Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
This is a highly interactive class with a mix of lecture, discussion, and questions and answers. I will help students choose a topic for writing a descriptive paragraph. Once they choose their topic, students will list attributes that describe their topic. Then, I will help students "level up" their descriptions by teaching them how to use three types of figurative language (similes, metaphors, and personification) and sensory details.

Learning Goals

Students will use figurative language in their writing.
Students will use sensory details in their writing.
