US Grade 4 - 6
In this course, students will learn the components of a friendly letter. We will then use the writing process (pre-writing/brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) to write a friendly letter to someone as if we are students at Hogwarts. Students will learn to organize their thoughts while brainstorming, and then transform those thoughts into a cohesive, informative letter. Students will revise and edit with a peer using Zoom breakout rooms and an editing checklist that will be provided.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the parts of a friendly letter (date, greeting, body, closing, signature).
Students will use the writing process to write a letter.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello all! I'm so excited to get to know you and see you in the classroom! I have 7 years of teaching experience and love to teach all ages and subjects. I have my M.Ed in teaching, and most of my teaching experience is in upper elementary and ESL education. Classes I offer include French, writing, life skills, Harry Potter, elementary science and math. If there is a class you're interested in that isn't scheduled, please shoot me a message so we can work something out!
Everything I do in the classroom stems from the belief that every child can learn. I also believe that my job as a teacher is first to keep my students safe (physically, emotionally, etc.), then to help them learn, then to help them have fun. I try to make my classes as fun as possible to keep students engaged because I really believe learning can be enjoyable! Reviews
