Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
In this class, your learner will be introduced to new ways of finding their voices. We will use open ended statements, games, role play and strategies to use so they lose the fear of putting our thoughts onto paper.

Homework Offered
In my classes , I use multiple diagrams to help students visualize how to find topics, find subsequent ideas for building paragraphs and I utilize canva to show learners how to find reliable sources. The homework will be specific to each class and should take no longer than ten to fifteen minutes. If a student is struggling with ideas or completion, I will work with them happily. Students will engage with not only me, but other students who have enrolled as well. We will discuss all aspects of the course as well as share our homework assignments to gain different perspectives. Students and parents can email me at any time if they have questions. I will be adding in several fun games to help the students choose topics and build upon their papers. It is a great way to encourage those students who find it hard to pin down a topic of interest.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
