Before students attempt the all-important essay, they need to learn the correct construction of a paragraph. Using a "construction zone" approach, this class will guide students through the creation of four different kinds of paragraphs: descriptive, expository, narrative, and persuasive. Each class will begin with a quick icebreaker game, followed by instruction that includes in-depth presentation and practice of writing opening sentences, supporting sentences, and concluding sentences. Following each class, students will be expected to write and submit a paragraph. Each submission will receive personalized instructor feedback. ***This class is now available as a FLEX course (video-based) with the exact same material as well as instructor feedback!*** https://outschool.com/classes/flex-class-paragraph-construction-zone-Xcf5pIyG#us2awjtbOK

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
My passion -- as well as my professional background -- is writing. Professionally, I hold a B.A. in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I've been published in numerous newspapers and magazines. I've also taught writing and literature classes to students of all ages and abilities.
On a personal note, I have homeschooled all five of my children and taught them all to read and write... and with each it has been a different experience! What's easy for one child is not easy for another. When I teach online, I always remember that it's important to keep learning fun and to incorporate different methods of teaching to reach all my students.
