Homework
1 hour per week. At least three days prior to the class, I will post an essay topic in the classroom. The student will be expected to read the essay prompt and write an essay prior to the class. The student will share the essay on Google Docs before the start of the class so I can review the essay with the student. If you share the essay with me at least 24 hours prior to the class start time, then I can read and evaluate the essay before class starts.Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 10
During this private tutoring class, the student will learn how to write a successful expository or persuasive essay. The student will be expected to come to class with an already written essay on a provided essay prompt (or the student can provide a draft of a current school assignment). The student's essay will be examined in three domains: organization, progression of ideas, and conventions. During the class, the student will be able to dive deeper into the three domains and see how they apply to his/her essay. The class will include a discussion of the domains, self-reflection of the student's essay, and evaluations of textual examples from sample essay prompts. The first half of the class will focus on an analysis of the student's previously written essay, and the second half of the class will give the student the opportunity to rewrite portions of his/her essay. SCHEDULING: If you would like to arrange a specific date and time other than what is posted, please enroll in the class and let me know what dates and times work best for you. Once we agree upon a date and time, then I'll open a new section and transfer you into that section. #confidence [Photo Credit: Image by David Schwarzenberg from Pixabay]
