Students should be able to engage in conversations and brainstorming activities as we share ideas to inspire a high-interest writing experience. Learners should be capable of completing one paragraph of approximately 6 - 10 sentences in their own writing. We will begin the paragraphs during class, but they will likely...

I have a Masters degree in Education from the University of South Florida. I have been working with students for decades. I have had experience teaching in the classroom from pre-school to high school. The majority of my classroom experience was spent in 2nd and 3rd grades. I have my ESOL certificate and have taught English to non-English speakers on line for several years. I teach reading, writing, language arts, social skills, public speaking classes, and ESL on line as well. I am a passionate, energetic educator that loves to inspire students to confidence, growth, and mastery.

One of our class assignments (Days 3-4) will entail writing instructions on how to do something simple for a friendly alien visiting Earth. This is a silly prompt designed to get learners thinking about vital details that need to be included in a “how-to” format when explaining. It will be kept light-hearted and fun in nature for the sake of generating excitement and interest in understanding and completing the one writing activity. If you feel your learner may have any concerns with this topic, please let me know. * In week two, we will discuss how books, articles, and videos can be utilized to gather factual information on a topic you wish to learn more about. (Example topics could include a favorite animal, trains, electric cars, a sport, a hobby, a location or destination, etc…) Students will be asked to choose a topic they already know at least a little about. The objective is to organize and utilize information in expository form once in class, but not expected to be an in-depth research paper. This is an exercise to help the students articulate their thoughts in an organized and cohesive way. Students will not need to access any additional sources during class. Once I model the process, students will be asked to gain permission and help from a grown up after class to locate factual information on a topic of their choosing. This can be a quick web search, YouTube video, or book you already have at home. I expect the students to have appropriate permission / supervision from an adult before performing any type of search. Students are not expected to cite sources or use multiple resources in this writing exercise. Students will be asked to utilize a graphic organizer I provide them to record facts they discovered on their topic. This should be a fairly quick and easy activity to perform at home. In class the next day, students can share their graphic organizers with the class. Students will then create an expository essay in class using the graphic organizer they created at home. This will be a fun and meaningful writing experience for the students. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
No additional sources will need to be accessed during class. I show a slide show by sharing my screen with students. * In week two, we will discuss how books, articles, and videos can be utilized to gather factual information on a topic you wish to learn more about.
