During this 5 day course, students will learn about personal narratives and create their own story based upon a special past event in their lives. This is a beginner course for writers or a course to help grow your child's confidence in their writing skills. We will be reviewing the basics of paragraph writing, learn the meaning of a personal narrative, and write a short, 5 paragraph story. During class, your child will have the opportunity to listen, participate, and write independently. I will be giving lots of encouragement and positive reinforcement along the way! I hope to see you in class very soon! Topics By Day: Day 1 ~ What is a personal narrative? ~ How to brainstorm a topic and pick a small moment ~ Writing down the details Day 2 ~ Introducing parts of a personal narrative (introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion) ~ Review paragraph writing ~ How to create a great introduction Day 3 ~ Creating an outline ~ Using transition words, descriptive words, and adding details Day 4 ~ Writing the draft (student work time) ~ Reviewing common grammatical errors in writing ~ How to write a great conclusion Day 5 ~ Editing ~ Final drafts **Interested in taking this class in less (or more) than 5 weeks? Feel free to send me a message. I'd be happy to create a private class at a pace that is best for your child. Private classes (1:1) are $35 per class.**

Parental Guidance
We will be using google slides to display worksheets, share information, or to type. I will share the google slides link a day before class begins. Please make sure your child has access to a google account prior to class. We will also be using Kahoot as a fun review at the end of some sessions.
Supply List
Students will be using google slides for our materials. You do not have to print out any of the pages, but are welcome to if you'd like. If your child would prefer to write rather than type, please make sure they have a notebook and pencil. However, I would recommend typing so that I can see your child's progress in real time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in English and a minor in Studio Art. Through my concentration in English, I had the opportunity to take advanced English courses in Modern Grammar, Expository Writing, Writing Fiction, and English Literature. The degree, in combination with my concentration and minor, has provided me with the confidence and skills to not only teach academics, but to also bring creativity, a nurturing environment, a passion for learning, differentiation for all learners, and advanced English knowledge into the classroom.
My Teaching Experience:
I have four years of classroom experience teaching fifth grade. During these four years, I taught all subject areas including English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. In addition, I had the opportunity to teach in one-on-one and small group settings. During ELA, I created English rotations based upon student needs. Some of these groups included practicing fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar. Each year, I also taught personal narrative writing, informative writing, and persuasive writing. My goal is for even the most reluctant writers to learn to love writing! Reviews
