Weekly Story Writing Class: Become a Confident Writer
Class experience
US Grade 2 - 3
Research shows that children not only need plenty of time to write, but also need explicit writing instruction in order to develop into confident writers. Learners will engage in planning their stories before they write, and then add details to create sentences to tell interesting stories with characters, setting and a plot. After they are finished writing they will edit their stories. -Each day class will begin with a writing lesson and demonstration. (5-10 minutes) -Then, students fill out...
Students will: -plan, illustrate and write narratives -demonstrate subject-verb agreement -use phonics to build spelling skills -spell sight words correctly -use transition words to connect ideas -revise and edit their stories
I love teaching reading and writing skills to children! As a result, I have delved into the research about best practices of literacy instruction, and started my own afterschool literacy program for children. I have a bachelor’s degree in French, a credential to teach English as a foreign language from Georgetown University, and a master’s degree from the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. I have more than 15 years of teaching experience in international primary schools, and am passionate about encouraging and supporting children to believe in their abilities and reach their full potential. When I am not teaching, I spend time with my husband, seven year old daughter, and our puppy named Teddy (Bear).
