Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7

In this 1 time interactive class, students will learn the poetry writing methods of William Shakespeare and then create their own sonnets. Shakespeare can often be intimidating; therefore, I want to show learners how to break down the language and literary elements of his sonnets in order to see the true beauty in his works. I also hope to inspire learners to create their own literary masterpieces.

Students will improve their understanding of William Shakespeare's sonnets while developing their own writing skills.

Other Details

Hi! I'm Mrs. Ginny, and I am so very excited to guide your student through the world of books! In regards to my teaching experience, I taught 7th grade English for two years and 7th-12th English for six years. I currently tutor with three tutoring companies and offer private lessons at my home.

Every time I read a new book, I feel as though I have made a new friend, and I hope to help your student see reading this way. I am extremely passionate about the written word and will use this energy to foster the bookworm in your student! 

On a side note- I love spending time with my family, reading aloud to my daughter, gardening, journaling, and READING!
