Class experience
US Grade 3 - 5
Join us for a fun writing challenge with a bit of a twist as we take our ideas from the date that our class takes place. Have you ever noticed that there seems to be a National Day for all sorts of things- some are very important and some are rather obscure (looking at you, National Awkward Moments Day)? Are you fascinated by things that happened in the past on any given day? You'll fit right in with us as we find out what makes the date stand out - whether it commemorates something cool,...
Students will: learn about an event that took place on the date of the class or a day that it commemorates and gain understanding about the event or idea; be able to participate in a discussion about the event and how it can be used as an inspiration for writing; be able to make a choice about creative or more factual writing and produce a piece that incorporates the 'on this day' topic.
Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, along with Theatre Arts, I've almost 20 years of experience in teaching English in primary schools (4-11-year-olds). Over those years I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills. I've also worked with students o historic events as well as studying in my own time and accessing the rich historical sites around me. I've also celebrated many an odd National Day with our youth groups and with my family and look forward to exploring more!
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Informal assessment in classGrades Offered
A notebook or paper and something to write with, or a device to use for writing.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
There may sometimes be more solemn events that take place on a day and on others more humourous or bizarre events. All content will be appropriate for the age that the class is aimed at, so it will be assumed that any learners just outside the age range are able to participate at that age level.
Various sources may be used for the different events, including websites such as nationalcalendar.com, photos that are copyright free, used with permission or are taken by myself, a variety of historical books that I have used in education over many years, etc. I'm always happy to answer any specific questions.
