Students will learn using a computer and interface. They will interact with the teacher through the outschool interface and can ask questions and message the teacher. I will be teaching your students how to organize their writing in order to form strong paragraphs. We will cover twenty types of graphic organizers. Some examples are Star Diagram, Tree diagram. T Chart Diagram, Venn Diagram, Pie Chart. and Vocabulary Map. I will be teaching using a powerpoint and also give students plenty of time to practice their new skill. My teaching style revolves around the students. I use a question and answer format. I ask guided questions and encourage students to come to the right answers through direct guided questions. Students should be able to write 3-5 paragraph essays and dissect short paragraphs in order to take this class. The class time/ structure is broken down into the following 1. 5 minute free writing time (whatever students choose) 2. 15-20 minutes lesson time (Powerpoint of the twenty types of graphic organizers) 3. 10 minute practice time (turn 5 minute writing time into the eight types of graphic organizers) 4. 10 minutes will be used for review which includes any last minute questions.
