Spooky sounds, oozing slime, creepy characters, ah! How fun to write about! Can you frighten your readers? On day 1, we will talk about some of our favorite spooky stories and ideas. I will also read a spooky story example to get our brains sparking with ideas! Then, we will see the prompt choices and talk about ideas for our own stories. These spooky prompts vary and can be written or picture based. The written prompts are story starters such as, "One full moon night..." and picture prompts are spooky pictures that we use our imagination to form a story about. On day 2, we will take a look into the elements and parts that make up a scary/spooky story. You will also have time to outline and begin writing your story based on the prompt. On day 3, we will have share time! This will be the class time we celebrate your creativity and hear your spooky story! While this is a fun quick, short story - it is nice to have guidelines and feedback! I do provide a checklist to guide learners with their writing and I will also give feedback using this checklist. Class Outline: Day 1: Discuss our favorite spooky stories and read a spooky story example, topic choices Day 2: Discuss elements and parts of a spooky story, begin outline/writing time Day 3: Share your own! Possible topics/prompts: written prompts such as: "One day I heard a strange sound..." or spooky picture prompts Please, check the schedule for available times.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Ms. C. I am so excited to see you in my Outschool classroom! I offer many classes related to dogs, wildlife, science, reading, and writing. I love teaching topics from the beautiful animals here on Earth to the gorgeous stars in the sky. I love incorporating reading, art and science all together. I have my Associate’s degree in Animal Science, Associate’s degree in Elementary Education, and my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Middle Dual Education with a specialization in Science. I am a certified teacher, and I am currently a substitute teacher and an Outschool teacher. I strive to support all my students in learning and welcoming them to a safe space. I encourage creativity, pursuing interests, and a passion for lifelong learning. I enjoy reading, writing, and being outside. A hobby that has always helped me relax has been drawing or painting.
