If you love poetry this class is for you. If you don't like poetry, this class might just change your mind! This class is for all types of learners, will help strengthen reading comprehension, and be a lot of fun! Poetic Terms Covered- - Figurative Language, Metaphor, Simile, Hyperbole, Imagery,...

I received my Secondary English teaching license in 2004. Since then, I have taught in public schools, private schools, and online. I currently teach ELL, ELA, and creative writing to students ages 4-84. My teaching style is encouraging and creative. I want my students to learn how they learn best, to feel supported, and for reading and writing to be enjoyable.

2 files available upon enrollmentStudents will need something to write with and paper or a journal. Some sessions may offer activities where scissors, glue, and markers are needed. I use Nearpod for many of my classes. A link to access the interactive lesson will be posted in the classroom. Parents will also receive a handout explaining how to use Nearpod. Students do not have to signup for Nearpod to access the lesson.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Nearpod- I use Nearpod (a free website) in all of my classes to provide interactive ways for students to engage in the material. My lessons may include educational YouTube videos in the Nearpod lesson. Students can only see and engage with the videos and materials I choose. I guide them through the lesson. Nearpod also allows students to annotate the texts we're reading, listen to the text if they are auditory learners, and interact with each other through a collaborative board. These activities are only available during class and while I am on-site with them.
