Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
It's often said that bad examples are the best teaching tools, and this is especially true for writing students. In this ongoing class, students will read examples of "bad" writing and then put their writing and critical thinking skills to the test to turn an error-filled sample into a better piece of writing.

Each week, students will proofread a piece of writing for tone, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and clarity. They will then put these edits into practice to rewrite a grammatically correct and tonally consistent piece of writing. If time allows, students will then brainstorm how to make creative changes, including changes to genre, setting, character description, and more!

Upcoming Meeting Schedule
Week of Jan. 12: Editing for verb tense
Week of Jan. 19: Editing for tone
Week of Jan. 26: Editing for clarity
Week of Feb. 2: Editing for punctuation

Learning Goals

How to identify and fix common grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors in fiction and nonfiction writing.
How to turn a rough draft into a more polished draft.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional academic and creative writing editor. I have worked on college admissions boards vetting application essays, edited papers for graduate and post-graduate researchers, and have taught Bibliography and humanities research courses. I am a very thorough editor with an eye for correct grammar, tonal and colloquial accuracy (using the correct tone based on the writing task), and fact checking. I focus on teaching students how to effectively edit their own work rather than simply telling them what to change.
