US Grade 6 - 9
Writing your thoughts down in a concise and comprehensive manner is a key literary skill to acquire. In this class, students learn to differentiate between a summary and an analysis of various literary pieces. Each week students will learn to summarize and then analyze a different form of literature. Week 1: Summary/Analysis of Fictional Short Story. Homework assigned. Week 2: Summary/Analysis of Famous Speech. Homework assigned. Week 3: Summary/Analysis of Non-Fiction Piece- in class discussion. Each class will be led via a slideshow, reading and discussion and then followed by a student written piece assessed by the teacher (not for grade, but for improvement). Students should read at middle school level and be able to write a short cohesive essay to get the most out of this class. Teacher will take each student at the level they are at and encourage them to think deeper and write better. Feedback may include grammar, writing, structure or analysis components. If students are already writing at grade level and are familiar with the 5 paragraph essay, they will be encouraged to write a 5 paragraph essay. Otherwise students will write 3 paragraphs to show their understanding of the differences between a summary and an analysis.

Students will learn the differences between a Summary and an Analysis. They will learn to write short but cohesive paragraphs of each.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Shaheen and I look forward to meeting you all virtually. I've been teaching language arts and the humanities for over 25 years in public, private and charter schools to elementary, middle and high school students. I also homeschool my own four children, and I am an education consultant for other homeschooling families. My expertise is in teaching the humanities and literature classes for middle and high school aged kids. I offer classes in the Socratic Seminar style for kids as young as 4th graders. Holding an M.S. in Education and a certification in teaching ESL, I am happy to bring the love of learning to your kids.
My goals, with teaching students, are to make them life long learners and passionate about education. I enjoy teaching poetry, literature, logic and the classics and I hope to pass this love of language on to my students! Reviews
