Class Experience

In this one-time course students will have the opportunity to review grammar terms and literary devices while penning their own original poetry.  Students will be introduced to the formula style of poetry as well as a mnemonic device.  Class time will consist of the student being taught how to write a formula poem which will incorporate using parts of speech and literary devices. The teacher will give a brief explanation of the various parts of speech and literary devices that the student will use in their poem.  Students will practice using the parts of speech and literary devices taught through the creation of their own original poems. Even more, a mnemonic device will be presented to the student which will provide the student assistance with memorizing some of the parts of speech introduced in class.  Essentially, this is a poetry writing class. However, students will have the opportunity to review certain parts of speech and literary devices which will assist them in creating an original poem.

Hello,

My name is Regina A. Moffett aka Mrs. Moffett and my homeschooling journey has ended with my two sons, however my passion for homeschooling is so enormous that I continue to teach in the homeschool community. My motto is “homeschooling is a labor of love and I love what I do.” Above all, I have been involved in the homeschool community for 25 plus years teaching hands-on science, writing (creative and research paper), literature, communication and speech, and art history classes for grades K-12th. I have also designed and taught literature through science courses for elementary and Jr. High grade levels. One of my popular classes to teach is Literature through Geography, History, and Science for grades 3-8. Although I enjoy science my favorite classes to teach are literature and  writing. While I have taught classes at various co-ops and in my home I am now teaching classes online.

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and a Masters in Communications and Training with a concentration in Instructional Design.  Being an independent teacher allows me to incorporate my educational training and experiences into the courses I offer. Because I have a passion for learning I genuinely enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and inspiring them to seek their own knowledge. If given the opportunity I would incorporate, notebooking, lapbooks, and or arts and crafts activities in all my classes.  

Looking forward to sharing my passion for teaching while watching you discover new things.
