Looking at a different focus (it could be a season, setting, or perhaps character) each week, we explore imaginative writing and build vocabulary with effective descriptions.

US Grade 4 - 5
In this ongoing class, meeting once a week, we explore descriptive language and how it can bring our writing to life. Learners should already have a basic understanding of nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Each week, we’ll take a different focus. This could be looking at a season, a character type, a setting, etc. We'll look at some pictures to help build a vocabulary bank. Next, we’ll experiment with combining them, and expanding them into descriptive phrases. We’ll look at similes and...
Students will: create a vocabulary bank begin to understand how to expand their words into phrases gain a deeper understanding of various writing terms and learn how to start using them in their own writing start to use their descriptive language ideas effectively in their writing.
Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, along with Theatre Arts, I've almost 20 years of experience in teaching English in primary schools (4-11-year-olds). Over those years I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills. I have a wide range of experience in editing and proofreading others’ work; both fiction and non-fiction.
Essential: A notebook or several sheets of paper and something to write with, or a device to use for writing. Useful but not necessary: A small whiteboard may be handy.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Content is age-appropriate to the advertised age range. Parents, please use your own judgement if your child is outside that range. As the course looks at descriptive writing in more detail, students will expected to be able to work at a more in-depth level and have a basic understanding of nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Some photos/ illustrations may be used to help with descriptive language (which will be my own photos, pictures created by me or shared from a source with permission). All will be age-appropriate. All other content will be created by me.
