In this four week class, students will view a variety of picture prompts to create a mystery setting for a story. The teacher will create fun prompts to enable students to use the elements of a story (characters, setting, plot), adjectives, adverbs, and figurative language. This class will be exciting and interactive through Power Point Slides and discussion between the teacher and learners. The teacher will facilitate conversation but will also provide a space for students to collaborate ideas together. The prompts will allow students to engage in writing a mystery using a variety of literary elements, characters, settings, and a plot. The teacher will provide a relaxed and exciting atmosphere for writing. The prompts will be very easy to understand and nothing will be scary or inappropriate. Prompts might include (but not limited to) footprints in the snow, a shadow of an animal, hand prints in paint on a wall, etc. This class is geared towards students who have prior sentence writing skills and an understanding of story elements. This will be a fun class filled with collaboration, mystery writing, and a lot of learning!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Tennessee Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello! Welcome to Outschool, I am so happy you are here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a certified teacher currently teaching Reading Intervention. I have over 20 years teaching and tutoring in the public and private school system. I also homeschooled two of our three children. Most of my teaching experience is in middle school English and Math. Teaching is such a beautiful gift for me. I enjoy helping others reach their full potential and watching them grow as they learn. Learning is an amazing adventure and it is one I take daily. I always try to learn new things to challenge myself.
Aside from teaching, I love to read and garden. I stay very busy as the mom of three young adults ages 20, 19, and 16. I also have two very precious dogs. My husband is also a teacher so our evening conversations are typically about school!
My personality and teaching style has always been very laid back and fun. I believe in laughing while learning! Confidence is key when we learn new things or when we are learning difficult things. I practice being a teacher who encourages, nurtures, and builds confidence. Teaching is a heartfelt calling that I do not take lightly. I truly enjoy working with learners of all ages in all subjects.
I hope to see your learner in one of my classes. We will have a blast! Thank you again for being here. Enjoy Outschool, it is a great place to be.Reviews
