This class is similar to my Creative Writers Workshop ongoing class. This is my One-on-One Creative Writing Class, an engaging and personalized learning experience tailored for students of all ages. In this unique workshop, I will provide individualized lessons, ensuring that your child receives targeted guidance to enhance their writing skills. Whether your child is a budding storyteller or looking to strengthen specific aspects of their writing, my class is designed to cater to their unique needs and aspirations. In our journey through the 6 Traits of Writing—ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions—your child will not only gain a comprehensive understanding of these essential elements but will also receive personalized support to apply them effectively in their writing. I believe in nurturing the love of storytelling, allowing students the freedom to explore and write about what captivates their imagination. Through this approach, I aim to inspire a genuine passion for creative expression. The class is designed to be a dynamic and supportive environment, fostering creativity and helping each student's unique voice come to life on the page. As a parent, you can expect regular updates on your child's progress, insights into their strengths, and suggestions for continued growth. My goal is to empower your child with the skills and enthusiasm for storytelling that will extend beyond the class, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of writing. 10 minutes - Shared writing, we will compose a story together using both of our ideas. 5 minutes - Mini Lesson - During this time I will teach a quick writing lesson using the story we composed. This lesson will vary each class based on the students needs. 15 minutes - Writing - We will both spend this time writing, focusing on the skill they learned for this class. This is also a time to ask questions and work on the technical side of their writing by checking grammar and word choice. 5 - 10 minutes - Share Time - We will share our writing with each other and discuss how it could be better.
