Super Pokemon Writing (Themed) is a one-time writing class for younger Pokemon fans! Who doesn't want to create their very own personal Pokemon? In this class, students will write a short descriptive paragraph with the use of a graphic organizer. Writers will receive their personal Pokemon-inspired character name through a special "Fusion" process. Together we will use the entire writing process (brainstorming, writing, revision, and final writing) to complete our writing activity. Bonus! The class includes a fun trading card project. Class Structure: • Use a unique key to unlock your Pokemon name • Group brainstorming activity • Write a 3-5 sentence descriptive paragraph about your newly created character. Writing is a breeze with our graphic organizer. • Share your writing with the class. (shy learners or off-camera learners are welcome to participate in their comfort level) • Design, create and write a trading card of your new Pokemon Outschoolers in my themed writing classes write a detailed 3-5 sentence paragraph. We focus on learning the paragraph formula of; topic, supporting and concluding sentences, writing strong descriptive sentences, and finally reviewing our work for corrections. Spelling and grammatical errors are going to be made, and guess what, that is fine! My goal is to enable your emerging writer to enter into the writing process with excitement through a much-loved topic.
Learning Goals
Prior knowledge of paragraph writing is helpful, but not necessary, as these are skills we will be working on within our sessions. Reluctant and emerging writings and those with limited writing experience will benefit from this class.
Student progress is monitored throughout the class, students who are needing extra writing time are encouraged to finish outside of class time by reviewing our class video.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
If your child needs assistance with physical writing, please be available to help. Per the Outschool policy, all non-enrolled students must remain off-camera; however, parents are welcome to sit next to their students during class time. If your writer needs help from you during class, please mute your microphone to avoid excess background noise for other students.
Outschoolers will find this is an academic writing class mixed with creativity, we spend time "chatting" Pokemon during our brainstorming session, however, students are expected to stay on topic during the writing portion of our class as we work through the writing organizer.
