In this 4 week class, learners will use the game of Fortnite to inspire a variety of writing skills. The teacher will illustrate different themes, characters, settings, etc. from Fortnite to help learners develop complete sentences. Learners will utilize nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, idiom, etc. each week. The teacher will use slides to illustrate the topics each week. Learners are welcome to have discussions with the teacher and peers while learning about different parts of speech and figurative language. This is an easy-going, fun, and engaging class to help those who love to write and those who find writing daunting. The class is exciting and relaxed! As a teacher, I am very relaxed, goofy, and enjoy laughing. I try very hard to make each class fun for each learner. There is no pre-requisite and no stress to share writing examples or ideas. If students prefer to write and not share, that is always perfectly fine. I encourage learners to make the class what they want and just have fun writing. Weekly Breakdown of class: Week 1: Using Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, and Adverbs to describe characters and setting Week 2: Using Personification and Hyperbole Week 3: Using Simile, Metaphor, and Idioms to illustrate different aspects of the game Week 4: Using Onomatopoeia, Hyperbole, Idioms, Adjectives, and Adverbs

Teacher expertise and credentials
Tennessee Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! Welcome to Outschool, I am so happy you are here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a certified teacher currently teaching Reading Intervention. I have over 20 years teaching and tutoring in the public and private school system. I also homeschooled two of our three children. Most of my teaching experience is in middle school English and Math. Teaching is such a beautiful gift for me. I enjoy helping others reach their full potential and watching them grow as they learn. Learning is an amazing adventure and it is one I take daily. I always try to learn new things to challenge myself.
Aside from teaching, I love to read and garden. I stay very busy as the mom of three young adults ages 20, 19, and 16. I also have two very precious dogs. My husband is also a teacher so our evening conversations are typically about school!
My personality and teaching style has always been very laid back and fun. I believe in laughing while learning! Confidence is key when we learn new things or when we are learning difficult things. I practice being a teacher who encourages, nurtures, and builds confidence. Teaching is a heartfelt calling that I do not take lightly. I truly enjoy working with learners of all ages in all subjects.
I hope to see your learner in one of my classes. We will have a blast! Thank you again for being here. Enjoy Outschool, it is a great place to be.Reviews
