Class experience
US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner Level
During each class, I will introduce the new concepts present in each lesson. I will go through the source text provided. I will demonstrate new concepts by completing a sample for the class. I will demonstrate the Key Word Outlining process, brainstorming process, and writing process. We will complete a paper collectively together in class. The student can do their own version for homework if they would like. PRIOR EXPERIENCE: Students must be familiar with the IEW Keyword Outlining...
By the end of this 4-session class, students will have written 4 short stories. They will understand how to organize a story into a story sequence chart and clearly communicate the main elements of a story. They will have learned several "dress-ups" and "decorations" style techniques to enhance their story.
I'm a dedicated educator with over a decade of experience teaching IEW. My passion is to make writing engaging and enjoyable for my students, and I strive to bring creativity and interactivity to every lesson. As a parent of three children, I've had the opportunity to use the IEW program at home and have walked my own kids through the program. This personal experience has given me a unique perspective and deep understanding of the challenges that students and families may face in the writing process. In my classes, I aim to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment that encourages students to take risks and develop their own unique voices as writers. I believe that with the right guidance and support, every student has the potential to become a skilled and confident writer. Whether in the classroom or at home, I'm dedicated to making writing a positive and rewarding experience for all students, and I'm excited to share my knowledge and passion with you.

I teach in a systematic step by step format designed to help the most reluctant learner achieve success. I have worked with many students with unique learning needs and my goal is to provide a class that can be adapted as needed.
My Unit 1 & 2, Unit 3 & Unit 4 Class teaches the foundational IEW Outline method and is highly recommended for optimal success in the class. Reading level 2-3 grade.
Submitting assignments is optional. If a student desires to submit papers they will need the following. Ability to submit papers via google docs.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
All content is age-appropriate and hopefully below reading level so the focus can be on writing not difficult content.
