Outlines can be confusing and feel like a bit like busywork-- but they are invaluable tools for writers, readers, and researchers of all ages! In this class, we'll introduce students to outlines and discuss why they're so useful in both academic and creative writing. We'll talk about the steps of creating an outline in a fun, engaging way, and then we'll work together to harness our ideas and make an outline for a practice essay! This is a fun, interactive class that seeks to show students why outlines are the key to cohesive, structured, and frustration-free writing.

Parental Guidance
Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class!
-For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them.
-Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!).
-Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book.
-The Zoom text chat is set to "host only", meaning students can chat with me, but not to one another or the entire classroom.
