Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 6
~CALLING ALL AUTHORS~

Welcome to my classroom! A place where you are always important and where you’ll feel valued.  

Ideas and various strategies and skills are never in short supply in this class! You’ll never hear, “I don’t know what to write,” again. In this class, students will learn essential story elements and strategies that will strengthen and sharpen their writing skills. Strategies learned in this class will benefit your writer for years to come.  

  📅 This is a one time class. If your student does not complete their story in our first session, you may wish to have your student attend the class a second time. Should you choose to rebook, please send me a message so that we can find a time that will work for both of us.

Class Structure: 
Welcome to class!
Introductions
Supply check-in: Let’s make sure you have what you need to succeed! 
Students must come to class prepared with two items — something to write with and something to write on.  
If your student plans to type their story during the class, they should come prepared with an open Google Doc or another word processor.  
What are we learning today?
Together, we will discuss the objectives for the class.
Discussion of class rules: 
Have fun
Do your best
Ask questions
Be respectful and kind to yourself
Writing Prompts: 
During this time, students will review writing prompts and select their writing topic. 
Writing Time:
Students will have approx. 20-30 minutes to work on writing their stories. Students can expect that I will check in with them routinely.  
It’s during this time in the class where I will scaffold my instruction to ensure that the students' individual learning goals are met. 
Editing/Revising:
Will you read what you wrote? If so, let’s talk about how we can improve your story! We’ll use the ARMS & CUPS methods of editing and revising.  As time allows, we will cover one or more of these topics to ensure growth as a writer.
✏️ Editing & Revising
✏️ Awesome Endings
✏️ Brilliant Beginnings
✏️ Show, Don’t Tell
✏️ Interjections
✏️ Homophones & Commonly Misused Words
✏️ Grammar Rules
✏️ Comma Usage
✏️ Adding Details
Sharing Time: 
Students will have the chance to read their completed stories aloud to the teacher. 
Class Summary & Review: 
Students will have the opportunity to ask questions about the lesson, their writing, etc. 
I hope to see you again soon! 
After class (OPTIONAL): You may submit your student’s work to me via Outschool messenger. I will provide personalized feedback and encouragement to share with your learner. 


A note from Ms. Lindsay: 
Welcome! I assure you that you won’t find a more supportive and encouraging teacher. I want your learner to succeed with this class, and I will do everything to facilitate that. If you have questions, please reach out to me.  


Important Reminders / Outschool & Class Policies

* Mute/learner removal reminder: There are times in class where “muting” all learners is necessary. If I plan to mute the class, I inform the class first. If a learner constantly calls out, is disrespectful, or purposefully causing a disruption, I must mute that learner. Under rare circumstances, I may remove a learner from the classroom due to unmanageable behavioral issues. If this occurs, I will reach out to the learner’s parents within 24 hours of the incident to discuss the next steps.  

**Class refund requests: Please use this link to review Outschool’s happiness guarantee/refund policy. I will not issue refunds for missed classes. https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/16379-outschool-s-happiness-guarantee-and-refunds 

It is my goal to create a fun, interactive learning environment. I believe when students have fun, they learn the most. In addition, I love to learn and teach. Therefore, I strive to make each of my classes as interactive and encouraging as possible. I appreciate your interest in my class, and I hope to see your learner in the classroom!

Learning Goals

Students will learn about the writing process and have the opportunity to write about a topic of their choice in a fun, laid-back environment.  It's my goal for students to complete their graphic organizer and have between 1-2 paragraphs written by the end of class.  Student output will vary depending on your learner and where they are at with their writing abilities.  More emergent writers will realistically produce less than a more advanced writer.

Other Details

Supply List
Please send your learner to class with:
• Pencil and notebook

**Graphic organizers are optional but will always be available.  If you can print, please send your student to class with the graphic organizer IF they are beginning a new story that week.  If you are unable to print, no worries.  We can easily work around it.  If you have any questions about what to send your student to class with, please reach out and I'm happy to help clarify.
