Does your learner loathe writing? 

Need more practice in writing? 

If so, I'm here to help! I firmly believe that EVERY student has the ability to improve and strengthen their writing. From students that need a little extra help to students that possess excellent writing skills, there is always room to create and achieve new learning goals. In this four-week course, students will learn and/or review the conventions and standards of English writing. 

This course is the third section of "I Can Write Well" (https://outschool.com/classes/i-can-write-well-a-six-week-writing-program-for-elementary-students-JLtYtGD9?usid=QdRM00CZ&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link) 

This class CAN be taken independently without taking parts one and two. The goal of this course is for students to be able to write a problem-solution and compare and contrast essay. 

Weeks 1&2 : In these classes, students will practice: explaining causes of the problem, effects of the problem, and present data to support their thoughts in a logically constructed, well-written essay.  Essays are due at the start of Week #3

Week 3&4: In these classes, students will examine two subjects and compare and contrast the subjects according to particular categories. Students will outline and begin to compose a compare and contrast essay with the ability to choose their own subjects. Essays are due a week after the course ends.


At the end of class each week, students will draft their compositions. After class, students will have one week to submit their final drafts in .doc, .pdf format or as a shared document in Google Docs. I will provide written feedback for all students. Students will also have an opportunity to use the feedback to improve their essay and re-submit. I feel it is important for students to have opportunities to apply the skills learned and gain information on how well they have used the newly acquired information. Please note that due dates will be assigned. Late work will not receive feedback (unless there are extenuating circumstances).

A typical class will follow this structure:

1. Warm Up -3 minutes
2. Lesson Introduction - 2 minutes
3. Direct Instruction with Active Class Participation - 10 minutes
4. Guided Practice - 10 minutes
5. Independent Writing Practice - 15 minutes
6. Review/Exit Activity - 5 minutes

I look forward to having your learner in my class! I offer a warm, engaging learning environment that fosters creativity and collaboration!

For learners that need differentiation, I offer shorter writing assignments, sentence stems, and guided outlines to assist with writing. Please reach out to me for any questions.
