Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Learners will explore gratitude in this ongoing, weekly club and write about it in detail in a journal.

Each week, learners will think about three things that they are thankful for in their lives.  They will be encouraged to dig deeper into their choices through questions about who, what, where, when, why, and how (as applicable). The writing in the journal will be so much more than a mere list! Each reason to be grateful will be followed with a "because statement."  For example: "I am grateful for my dog because my dog keeps me company at night."

Each class will begin with a teacher example to help foster the questioning discussion and model how to use "because statements."
Following the teacher's example, learners will think about what they will focus on, their "because statements," and writing in their journals. 
Learners who would like to can participate in sharing with the group at the end of class. 

Writing expectations will be adjusted per learner, accounting for age and ability. 
Open discussion that is on topic is welcome.
No material or outside sources beyond the Outschool Zoom classroom are necessary. 
There are no weekly themes as learners will guide the class and what they write from their own experiences.
As an ongoing class, learners may enroll and withdraw at any time. 

For English Second Language Learners (ESL):
This class is great writing practice for those who are not going to take Cambridge Exams.
