Organizational Strategies for Writing to a Passage-Based Prompt
I am a Speech Language Pathologist by background and helping students become comfortable with writing is my passion. I teach and demonstrate writing strategies that will help learners write a well-organized, well-developed composition.

This is a one-time class to introduce writing strategies. Students will not receive a grade, but I will give them feedback on their graphic organizer and/or paragraph work as parents request it.Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 7
This class is an introduction to strategies for making it easier for the writing process to flow. I will cover graphic organizers, paragraph organization, and organizational structure for introductions and conclusions. I like to structure my class by using the "I do it, we do it, you do it." My teaching style is structured, and within that structure, I like students to comment and ask questions as we work through the material together. I will use slides as part of the presentation and a white board to model use of strategies.
Learning Goals
Students will produce a graphic organizer independently.Students will demonstrate a well-organized introduction.
