What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursClass Experience
The student can bring any writing they need extra support with to class or share it in the Outschool classroom as an attachment. I will also be assigning essay topics once a week for extra practice. We can read and improve on the work together in the sessions. I will be providing slides and handouts as a reference to support the student in prewriting and organizing ideas for both essays and creative writing. The sessions work as a collaborative effort: the student identifies the areas they need support with and I will provide tools and feedback geared toward their needs.
Learning Goals
The student will improve their understanding of the 6+1 Writing Traits and The Writing Process. The student will also learn how to organize their creative writing through the five elements of literature and revising/editing.
Other Details
Supply List
I will provide slides and handouts as needed.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings! Thank you for being here.
I'm Teresa Purugganan, pronouns she/they. You can call me Ms. Purugganan (poo-roo-gah-naan). I ask that you please do not shorten it to "Ms. P" as this name has survived a long history of colonization of my ancestral lands, the Philippines. I'd like to preserve the name and continuously speak it into existence as an offering to my ancestors and my people.
I've been a teacher for the past 11 years, a writer since I was taught the skill, and a poet since high school. I love poetry, what they call "magical realism," and creative non-fiction. These are the genres I enjoy working in as writer and poet.
I am currently living and working as a settler in the Kingdom of Hawai'i. I offer creative writing and art workshops for young writers and artists, mostly ages 12-17. Though, age matters to me less than curiosity and enthusiasm.
These spaces are collaborative and encouraging ones, designed to support you and your creative process.
Please feel free to message with any questions or schedule requests.
With much gratitude,
ms. purugganan
