In this course, students will create their very own version of beloved Christmas stories. What if Rudolph didn't save Christmas? What if Frosty accidentally destroyed the town in his fun adventures? What if Santa forgot to come to town? Answer these questions and more in this fun Fractured Christmas Stories class! Each class, we will focus on a different writing prompt. Students will be given time to share their writing with the class if they choose. If time allows, students may complete their story with a picture. ***Please note, this is a writing prompt based class. Students will have about 15-20 minute to independently write with teacher help if needed. Students can write on a Google doc or paper. ** This class will be structured as follows: Greeting and Introductions Writing Prompt Introduction Independent Writing Story Share Writing Prompts: Day 1: The Year Santa Forgot to Come to Town: Write a Story about the Night Santa forgot to come to town.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Liberty University
Hello! My name is Kristen Freeman! I love to teach, and I have been a teacher for the last 5 years. I love Language Arts, History, Phonics, Reading, and Writing! I believe that learning should be fun and exciting because learning is the most amazing thing. I am a wife, a stay at home mom, and a part time teacher!
I have a strong passion for education. I have a Bachelor's degree in education with a minor in child psychology! I have been a teacher for the last 6 years and have taught ESL online for the past 2 years. I have taught children of all ages during my teaching career, and I think that learning should be exciting no matter how old you are!
While I enjoy all types of classes, I am super passionate about reading, writing, and grammar! Children often struggle with these core areas and since they are the basis of education, they soon come to dislike reading and then learning. I believe that all children can learn and that sometimes it takes a different approach to unlock learning a new concept! That is why my classes focus on exciting approaches to basic content!
