I will provide specific feedback on the paragraph submitted as homework.Class Experience
In this class, the students will learn how to develop a basic paragraph using the Jane Schaffer Method. As a Doctor of Education I understand the importance of a strong foundation in writing. Teaching students to develop a basic paragraph with complex sentences prepares students for high school and beyond. Students will receive direct instruction through lecture, practice with identifying parts of a paragraph, and time to practice writing through one homework assignment. At the end of class, I assign one paragraph as homework for the students to develop on their own. I provide feedback on Sunday and Monday for every class each week.
Learning Goals
Identify parts of a basic paragraph.Improve writing through sentence structure.

Welcome!
I am Dr. Sarah Hopkins, Ed.D. I am currently a Dean of Students and have been teaching for almost a decade. I have taught 4th grade, junior high Social Studies, and high school AP history, special education, and student leadership.
I am excited to offer a variety of technical writing classes and fun book clubs for a wide range of students.
As a Doctor of Education I understand the technical aspects of writing and love teaching students how to craft meaningful essays and papers. My writing classes are designed to teach high school students the best practices for research papers and persuasive essays, using MLA and APA format, to help prepare for college. These classes are designed for groups but I can offer additional 1:1 classes for students who want more practice and feedback.
Additionally, I am an avid reader and believe that reading accelerates a child's learning. To spark a love of reading, I offer book clubs for students of all age groups. I currently focus my book clubs on Mystery series (books based on age groups) but will design courses upon request. If you have a favorite genre, let me know!
