How is your class structured?
The class will be divided into interactive lessons focusing on each part of the five-paragraph essay. Each session will include a mix of instruction, guided practice, and hands-on activities to reinforce learning.

How will you teach?
I will use a combination of mini-lessons, writing exercises, group discussions, and real-world examples. Students will engage in both individual and collaborative activities to practice their skills in a fun, low-pressure environment.

What's your teaching style?
My teaching style is engaging, supportive, and interactive. I believe in encouraging creativity while providing clear guidance, constructive feedback, and positive reinforcement to help students grow as writers.

How much will learners get to interact with you?
Students will have multiple opportunities to interact with me through live discussions, writing games, and interactive exercises.
