US Grade 3 - 4
Beginner Level
☘️ Welcome to the writing class! All students are welcome whether your learner simply enjoys writing, or they are looking for a unique approach to boost their writing skills!

☘️ Students will explore a range of topics and I will use presentations, videos, interactive tools,  and visuals for student engagement. The primary focus is on Fictional Writing, however, I do sprinkle in Personal Narrative as it complements fictional writing nicely.
 
☘️ Each week learners will learn how to brainstorm and organize their ideas or information chronologically.  Students will be asked to write a story based on a writing prompt, and once a month they will have a chance to explore their ideas as well.

☘️, After brainstorming, they will write a paragraph. I will also reinforce, sentence fluency, word choice, story structure, etc through some writing activities ranging from collaborative writing to individual writing. 

☘️ Students will also have some take-home activities as well! Students are encouraged to hand in their writing which I will assess from Monday to Thursday. I ask that students do their best to edit using the writing checklist  I  provided in the welcome post.

☘️ Please note that even if this is a drop-in class, students will learn all the different facets of required for them to become excellent writers
