Is your learner a reluctant writer? The goal of this course is to help your learner to be a more confident writer. First Grade Story Writing will review writing basics in fun and engaging ways. Learners should be able to write some words and simple sentences before coming to this class. Warm Up Your Pencil The session will begin with a Warm Up Your Pencil activity. This will be a fun and low pressure way to get your learner moving more freely and comfortably with a pencil on paper. Skill Review We will learn that most stories can answer three important questions: 1. Who? -Stories have characters. 2. Where? Stories have a setting. 3. What? Stories have a plot.
