Welcome to my writing class! In this class, we will be learning how to answer those tricky essay questions! We will talk about the steps of answering a writing prompt and gather some tips and tricks along the way! Working both as a group and independently, this course will show you how to write an essay through weekly writing prompt questions. **The material in this ongoing class will repeat every 9 weeks.** NOTE: If you took my summer essay writing camp, this class will cover different material with different writing prompts! I'd love to have you in my class again! :) This class is structured as a small group lesson, one per week. Each class we will work on essay questions step-by-step! WEEK 1: Introduction to essay writing and whole group practice prompt WEEK 2: Independent practice prompt #1 WEEK 3: Continue/finish independent practice prompt #1 WEEK 4: Independent practice prompt #2 WEEK 5: Continue/finish independent practice prompt #2 WEEK 6: Independent practice prompt #3 WEEK 7: Continue/finish independent practice prompt #3 WEEK 8: Independent practice prompt #4 WEEK 9: Continue/finish independent practice prompt #4 I truly believe that every student can learn. In my years as a special education teacher, I have assisted many struggling writers. My style is enthusiastic and uplifting. I feel strongly about the importance of positive reinforcement and verbal praise in sessions. I will keep your learner engaged with fun ways to grasp concepts and interact with material. I teach using both verbal and visual models and aids. This small group class will have constant interaction between learners and myself. Each class will have a similar format structured around responding to essay questions. While we answer essay questions using Google Docs, we will also work on improving vocabulary, grammar, and spelling in our writing. Learners will walk through revising and editing essays to produce a final response. We will be using PowerPoint slides. YouTube links may be added to our Classroom Posts for specific topics discussed (such as using complete sentences, revising/editing) with short clips to further explain examples for each concept visually. After the class, I will provide writing visual aids to save for future reference! For this on-going class, students should have some basic knowledge of writing complete sentences and answering a writing prompt. However, we will work through all steps from beginning to end.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their ability to answer essay questions/writing prompts using varied vocabulary and proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling.
Other Details
Learning Needs
I can support your learner with any unique needs. Some example supports can include visual aids, breaking down assignments into pieces and chunks, reading aloud of material where appropriate, and positive reinforcement/verbal praise.
Supply List
Learners will not need any materials for this course. I will provide visual aids after class to assist with future writing. Learners may want to have some scratch paper and a pencil to brainstorm ideas (optional).
