***I love Legend of Zelda SO much! And, I'm sure that you do too, since you're checking out this class. To sweeten the deal, use my coupon code TUCKELINKISAWESOME5 to get $5 off this class!*** If you're looking to improve your writing skills in a fun way, you'll enjoy the Legend of Zelda Weekly Writing Club! Start off 2025 working on your resolution to write better! Each week you will see an example of what we'll be writing, then receive a fun prompt to write on your own! Each month we'll have a different Legend of Zelda game theme that we'll use, and each week we'll focus on a different kind of writing theme. You do NOT have to know everything about every Zelda game, in order to fully enjoy this class. ALSO, if your learner doesn't enjoy the month's theme they can use whatever game they like, provided they use the prompts given. Please see the schedule below. Most classes stand alone and do not building upon previous classes, so learners can join in at any time. 2025: January - Tears of the Kingdom, February - Windwaker, March - All the Legend of Zelda mangas!, April ~ Breath of the Wild May ~ Age of Calamity Week of May 4 ~ Punctuation: Using commas Week of May 11 ~ Punctuation: Using periods, points, and other dots Week of May 18 ~ Punctuation: Using semi-colons and colons Week of May 25 ~ Punctuation: Review and using all other types of punctuation May ~ Age of Calamity Week of May 4 ~ Punctuation: Using commas Week of May 11 ~ Punctuation: Using periods, points, and other dots Week of May 18 ~ Punctuation: Using semi-colons and colons Week of May 25 ~ Punctuation: Review and using all other types of punctuation June ~ Tears of the Kingdom Week of June 1 ~ Using Correct Capitalization Week of June 8 ~ Identifying Parts of Speech (Nouns and Verbs) Week of June 15 ~ Identifying Parts of Speech (Adjectives and Adverbs) Week of June 22 ~ Identifying Parts of Speech (Prepositions and Conjunctions) Week of June 29 ~ Identifying Parts of Speech (BIG review!)

You will NOT be charged for weeks that do not have classes scheduled, so it is NOT necessary to un-enroll that weeks. In 2025, I will NOT be scheduling any classes for the following weeks: * July 6th due to a Spanish interpreting commitment. 🪅 * December (TBD) ~ two weeks for the Christmas break. 🎄 My no-show policy: if no learners are in the classroom after 10 minutes, the Zoom session will be ended (this is Outschool's general policy for no-shows).
Learning Goals
Learners will work on their writing skills while practicing writing using fun prompts and specific writing topics.
Other Details
Supply List
Learners will need either paper and something to write with, or a word processing tool open and running on their computer or device during class time. For *some* topics (think really breaking down words and technical grammar) I may use fun educational games such as Blooket or Kahoot! You do NOT have to have an account for either game. You can use the device you use for Outschool Zoom classes OR have an additional device (tablet, phone). ~ For Blooket, go to play.blooket.com prior to class time and I'll let you know the game ID during class. ~ For Kahoot, go to www.kahoot.it prior to class time and I'll let you know the PIN number during class.
