Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
1) What will be taught? In this one time class students will get the opportunity to write about their life if they were a super hero. There are questions to be answered. What super powers would you want? What would you do with them? Would you have a costume? There is so much to write about and so little time. Come make writing your super power! 
2) What topics will you cover? I will cover brainstorming before you start a creative writing story. I will cover what goes into the beginning, middle, and end of a story. I will cover details and why they are so important to creative writing stories. I will cover correct punctuation and capitalization. Most importantly, I will be covering these while still making learning FUN.
3) How much will learners get to interact with students? Students will get to interact with students when brainstorming what superheros can, have, and are. They will also get to read their writing to the class if they choose. 

Lesson:
Beginning- Students will introduce themselves to the class.
Next- Students will read a story about being a super hero.  I will be asking comprehension questions for students to get extra reading practice during the story. This will give them time to think of things they could include in their writing.
Next- We will do brainstorming about what superhero's can, have, and are. 
Next- I will explain what creative writing is and what needs to be included in the beginning, middle, and end of a story. I will also explain how to use details to expand on writing. 
Next- Students and myself will write a story about my life as a super hero. 
Last- Students will write their own stories about their life as a super hero. 
*They can share their stories at the end of class if they choose.
Learning Goals
Students will improve when it comes to brainstorming before writing a story. They will learn what goes into the beginning, middle, and end of a story. They will get familiar with how to use details to make their writing more interesting.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Everyone!! I have a joke for you.....
What school do you greet people in?......Hi School!:):)

I LOVE teaching! I graduated from West Texas A&M University with my bachelor's degree in elementary education. I have also acquired a masters degree in reading instruction, and am passionate about teaching kids to read. When I graduated college I taught first grade for two years in North Carolina. I have also had the opportunity to teach English online with VIPKID for a couple years. This is an ESL company based in China. This has given me experience with making learning FUN in the online environment. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve. I really enjoy teaching creative writing, so if you are interested in getting your child engaged while writing, I would love to be your teacher:) I also have two precious Corgi's named Peach and Noodle that like to make appearances in my classes as well. Students always look forward to this. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much and I hope to meet you all soon!
