Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
LOL, and OMG surprises can be lots of fun!  Please bring your favorite dolls to class as inspiration for your story.  After each student has had the opportunity to share, we will then begin the process of unlocking the story ideas. I will assist the student to practice developing an outline. I will also provide visual images designed to prompt creative thinking. Together we will brainstorm and develop the characters, plot, and storyline. 

We will also talk about turning boring sentences into exciting ones using adjectives and strong verbs. This has been a favorite exercise for all my writing classes. Take a sentence like "She ran out the door." and turn it into "The tall blond girl angrily pushed the big steel door and stomped out the door. We will practice by taking some of the student's sentences from their outline and developing them into exciting sentences. 

Students will be encouraged to write the outline in class, some student may move into story development.  

This is a class about creativity, we will not focus on grammar or spelling.  It is all about letting the ideas flow!  Students will be encouraged to write first and then edit later.   

This will be a small class of no more than 6 learners to ensure engagement interaction and support.

Learning Goals

Students will design a story outline with exciting and interesting sentences around one/or several of their favorite LOL/OMG dolls.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have always been obsessed with writing. I remember in the third grade I wrote a short story and my teacher chose me to present it in a city-wide oratory.  I was hooked, I wanted to be a writer. In college, I took many classes in writing but they seemed to stifle my creativity and my career took a different direction. 
For me, writing is a way of breaking away from reality because, as one of my professors told me, paper will never reject my pen. Now, I enjoy blogging, journaling, and teaching creative writing to young learners. I hope to see your child in my classroom!
