Class Experience

During this class students will be introduced to 5 creative ways to begin a piece of writing. 
1. Even though...
2. Since...
3. When...
4. If...then...
5. A Question??
Lecture and discussion with teacher driven examples will begin this class. Students will see how any of these types of sentences can be used for the same piece of writing. It will also be addressed that while any of the 5 CAN be used, in some cases there are certain ones that don’t work well. As the hour concludes students will be encouraged to come up with their own topic sentences using the tools from our toolbox.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Pennsylvania Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Teaching children to be confident writers with the tools they need to be successful is a vital part of developing successful writers. Using these “topic sentence tools” as well as other tools, has taken the fear out of writing for my children. I no longer have reluctant writers because they have the tools in the toolbox to tackle the assignments.
