What's included
Homework

The packet serves as a tool for completing weekly learning assignments. Assignments may require 20-60 minutes each. Students have the option to submit their completed assignments through the Outschool platform in the "Teacher" tab for feedback..Assessment
I'm delighted to review outlines and papers, offering positive feedback. My focus is on assessing whether students are following the process presented in class. It's important to note that I do not correct spelling and grammar. To receive feedback, assignments must be submitted on the Outschool platform under the "Teacher" tab.Class Experience

Learning Needs
I teach in a systematic step by step format designed to help the most reluctant learner achieve success. I have worked with many students with unique learning needs and my goal is to provide a class that can be adapted as needed.
Pre-Requisites
Students can jump right into this class. However "Introductions to Writing" is strongly suggested for young or new learners
Supply List
With each lesson, there will be a posted work packet. It is highly encouraged that students print this packet and use it to complete the lessons. Turning in paper for feedback requires the use of a camera phone or scanner to upload the document to Outschool if the student does not use google docs
