In this 4 week class, students will develop their own story through activities and discussion. Students will use descriptive words in their stories.

Students will practice creating simple plot ideas and work on creating the outline for their story. Week 3: Students will learn more about character development.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lyndsay Ball. I am excited to be teaching classes on Outschool.
My classes are focused on three age groups. I teach classes for children 3-6 years old. In these classes we will explore letters, numbers, art and science in classes that are interactive and engaging.
I also teach classes for students aged 7-10. These classes are beginning novel studies. We will read short chapter books and explore concepts that are present in the book. These novel studies are interactive and bring in math, science and language.
Finally I also teach students ages 9-12. In these classes we will also be doing novel studies that dive into longer books and harder topics. We will explore these topics together through interactive activities.
I am an early childhood educator and have experience teaching Canadian curriculum to students in kindergarten- grade 6. I have a diploma in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Applied Science in Early Childhood Studies and I am a certified teacher of primary/junior education.
I love to incorporate math, science, language and art into my courses, everything overlaps! I am excited to be on this teaching journey with you.Reviews
