If your kids love to read out loud and perform or need practice reading out loud, this is great practice! Each session we will work on a different script from fairy tales to nonfiction. Students will learn how to read a script and work together. We will also learn about characterization. No experience needed! Week 1: *How to read a script * Fractured Fairy Tale Script— Cinderella Week 2: * Characterization - taking real life people/events and dramatizing it * Non-Fiction Script— Amelia Earhart, Sharks Week 3: * Characterization: Protagonist, Antagonist, Character Traits * Fiction Script— The Chocolate Touch Week 4: * Write your own script and share * Students opting to add the bonus week will be given the chance to create a story or take from non-fiction and create a readers theater script for the class to perform. Students can work individually, partners, or small group to create the script

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Kathy and I live in Southern California. I love working with students all around the World and of all different ages. I mainly teach classes that are Language Arts based (reading, writing, spelling, and grammar). I also teach about Historical figures, especially if I can tie them into Literature. I also love teaching about animals, and doing story time for the younger kids.
I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have taught in traditional school settings, charter schools, home schooled my own children, and taught online. I have a BA in English as well as a K-12 Teaching Credential. I am very passionate about helping people learn to love reading and writing. I also love to help people that need a little extra help with spelling and grammar. It makes me so proud and happy to have a student tell me how much they think they are improving or to get answers correct on something they missed before.
My approach to teaching is interactive and hands on. I want my students to learn while having fun. I ask a lot of comprehension questions, group work, pair work, and projects (depending on the class). I try to do as much of the work in class as possible so that kids can still be kids once they are done.
My background is in English but I love History and Science too (especially the experiments). It wouldn't be unusual in one of my classes to have to make something that just pops into my mind because it seems fun. I love animals, chocolate, and all things Disney!Reviews
