Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In these ongoing tutoring sessions, students will prepare for the rigors of middle school writing! We will engage together in games, activities and written assignments to sharpen writing skills. We start with an assessment of reading comprehension and grammar skills and move on to written assignments. 

Topics include:
*Vocabulary building
*Grammar
*Punctuation
*Complex sentences
*Paragraph writing
*Essay writing
*Creative writing 

Through participation in the class, students will be given the opportunity to keep their writing skills sharp and feel confident in their ability as they head into and throughout the middle school experience. 

Note to camera shy students: I am in class 5 minutes before the start time. You can come to class early and check-in with your video on and then turn it off.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their writing skills through assignments that involve careful revision of multiple drafts.  By the end of the sessions students will be able to write a 5 paragraph essay with ease.
