Class experience

US Grade 6 - 9
Students who make drastic improvements in their essay writing often forget much of what they learned when they have fewer essays to write. This study group is designed to help students maintain their essay writing skills. For some students, the regular practice of creating an outline and writing a thesis will have just as big of an impact on their writing skills as their writing an entire essay.
This organization has approved the following educators to teach our studio created curriculum:
Ms. Rae has over 8 years of experience teaching creative writing to Middle School students. She hold a TESOL certification and has been teaching ESL learners online for 6 years. 

Mr. Rafael has over 8 years of experience as an English and Math tutor.

Homework Offered
Students have the choice of finishing their essay outside of class. The teacher will give some feedback and may choose to only focus on helping a student improve certain parts of an essay rather than the entire essay. For example feedback may be centered around asking a student to focus on providing clear examples as opposed to improving sentence transitions.
Assessments Offered
Essays will receive basic feedback about clarity and quality via Google Docs 1 week after the class. The teacher will give some feedback and may choose to only focus on helping a student improve certain parts of an essay rather than the entire essay. For example feedback may be centered around asking a student to focus on providing clear examples as opposed to improving sentence transitions.
Grades Offered
Using a laptop or computer is ideal. It can be difficult for students to type at length using an iPad or tablet.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
***Students who have never written an essay or who have very little essay writing experience should take a private lesson or enroll in one of our group writing classes.*** 

Students who do not want feedback, do not want to do a an outline, or have very little essay writing experience are not a good fit for this course.
Students should be able to work independently and have essay writing experience. 

Students have the option of working on their essays outside of class; however, the instructor may recommend that the student complete their essay before joining the next session. Depending on the student's experience and writing skill level one essay may take 2-4 sessions. If a parent would like for their child to complete more essays, then the parent is responsible for having their child work on the essay outside of class. This will allow the instructor an opportunity to provide feedback on the essay. Please keep in mind that it is unusual for a quality essay to be completed within 45 minutes. Spending 2-4 sessions on 1 essay is the equivalent of spending 90 minutes to 3 hours on one essay. Some essay topics may require research, but these sessions do not place an emphasis on citation pages.
The teacher will provide a Google Doc link via Chat for students to use for writing. No special account needs to be created by the parent.
