Practice Writing Paragraphs is an ongoing class that focuses on the four types of paragraphs for young writers. There are no writing assignments before or after class. Learners are invited to join any week! The weeks will rotate between descriptive, explanatory/informative, narrative, and opinion paragraphs, as well as important writing skills. We will focus on the writing process, structure, and text features of specific paragraphs. Learners should already have a basic understanding of the types of paragraphs. At the beginning of class will introduce the paragraph's topic and provide a brief review of the type of paragraph. Learners will then brainstorm ideas through discussion and begin writing their paragraphs independently. The small group setting will provide learners with a personal space to be creative with plenty of time to write and share paragraphs, get personal feedback from the teacher and peers, and fully participate in all activities. Anyone that finishes early will have the opportunity to share what they wrote with the others. Learners that don't finish during class, or wish to receive feedback from me can post their paragraphs in the classroom when they are ready. Students that don't feel comfortable sharing their writing in class can send their paragraphs privately after class if they'd like it checked. After a few sessions, students will have a portfolio of different paragraphs.

Hello and Welcome!
My name is Caitlyn Teacher. It’s great to meet you!
***********************************
Dear Outschool families and learners,
I will be taking an indefinite break from Outschool as I am living abroad and unfortunately will not be able to continue teaching online for the time being. I truly enjoyed my time teaching on Outschool and hope to be able to start classes again one day.
Though I’ll be unable to teach on Outschool for a while, I will keep my profile open and can still be reached through Outschool messages!
Good luck in all your future classes and studies :)

***********************************
I have been volunteering and teaching in brick-and-mortar schools since 2013, and teaching online since 2021. I love teaching language arts (especially reading and writing), math, world cultures, K-Pop, and I am a huge fan of Disney. I want to share my passion for learning with students who have similar interests! I hope to encourage a passion for learning, inspire ideas for new interests and hobbies, and provide unique learning experiences for each student.
My classes cater to small group settings, with six or fewer learners in each class. This small group setting provides more opportunities for teacher-learner and learner-learner interactions. I structure my classes and lessons to encourage student discussion and interaction. There are many chances to ask and answer questions. The discussion questions are usually open-ended to allow learners to think creatively about an answer and lead to more personalized discussions.
I studied, trained, and became certified to be an elementary K-5 school teacher in America, then traveled abroad to teach English in Asia. I taught ESL to Korean middle and high schoolers for four years and finished a 120-hour young learners and teenagers TEFL/TESOL certification. While living in Asia, I took the opportunity to visit many countries and learn about new places and study new languages. I have been studying Korean since September 2017.
I look forward to when I can travel again! But from the comfort of home, I love still being able to connect with students all over the world through Outschool’s online classes!
I look forward to seeing you soon~
