Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
I'm an experienced writing teacher (27 years) with an B.A. in English from U.C. Berkeley. I love teaching writing, and hope that my students will learn to enjoy writing too!

 In this 8-week class, students will learn what flash fiction is, and how it is different from regular fiction. 

Week 1: Realistic Fiction, also, how to write a good lead or hook, and how to create conflict. 
Week 2: Science Fiction, plus how to write titles and also add setting to your story. 
Week 3: Adventure/Action Fiction, plus how to write dialogue. 
Week 4: Historical Fiction, plus how to do research for your writing. 
Week 5: Fantasy Fiction, plus how to use paragraphing in your stories. 
Week 6: Realistic Fiction part 2, plus how to create characters. 
Week 7: Dystopian Fiction, plus how to create different kinds of endings
Week 8: Fan Fiction, plus some spelling tips. 

We will read flash fiction examples in the class, and the students will have time to write as well. If kids want to share their stories, they are encouraged, but it is not required. 

Learners will also be taught things like grammar, punctuation, dialogue writing, organization, and how to create titles in their stories. Since the class is small, I can look at the individual work and see where the kids need a little extra help. Kids may either type or handwrite their stories. Students can be of any level. There is no experience required. 

I teach in a fun and relaxed environment, where kids can have fun and learn to enjoy writing. I hope you will join us in this fun flash fiction class!

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor’s Degree in English from University of California, Berkeley
I teach writing classes to K-12 students. The classes will cover many genres of writing, such as Personal Narrative, Fiction Writing, Essays, Poetry and more. Grammar and organization will also be an important part of these classes as well. 

 I have been teaching since 1992. I have taught all grades in and outside the traditional classroom. I have a B.A. in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and a teaching credential from California State University East Bay. 

My philosophy on teaching writing is that it first should be engaging and fun. Writing is a subject many people struggle with, and I want us to have enjoyable sessions while discussing possible topics and getting to know each other. I believe that students should be able to choose their own topics, with my help, when they need it. I will help to take the pain out of writing and help to students to enjoy the process. 

I really love to read, and when I was a kid, my parents had a boat that we used to sail around the San Francisco Bay. My family would make fun of me because while we were on the boat, I'd read my books while my parents said I should be looking at the scenery. Today, I still love reading, but I also take time out to enjoy all the stuff around me as well.
