This class is perfect for Wings of Fire fans of all ages! In this ongoing class, we will read passages from different Wings of Fire books and complete activities aimed to improve reading and writing skills. We will focus on skills such as fluency, intonation, vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar, syntax and complex writing. The class will also include art projects for a variety of learning! (We have to design our own dragons!) Another goal of the class is to build discussion and critical thinking skills. Learners will be encouraged to formulate opinions and share ideas in their own words. They will also tackle larger questions about life and morality. We will have lots of fun discussing the books, our favorite characters and so much more! Each class will use a variety of teaching methods to engage every type of learner. Classes will include reading out loud, worksheets, peer review, quizzes, videos and much more. Learners will be challenged to question what they know and draw connections between the books and the real world. Learners are not required to own any of the books we will be reading, nor do they need to read every book in full. Each week, learners will be provided with all the materials they need via the classroom. 🐉 What is taught in this course? 🐉 Each week we will focus on a new book from the series. We will read a portion of the book in class, and then we will complete related activities. Learners do NOT need to have read all the books.

Learning Goals
There are three skills we aim to develop in this course: reading, writing and discussion.
Learners will get better at reading aloud as they develop their fluency, rhythm, intonation and expression. Students will also build on-the-page skills such a reading comprehension, summarizing, making predictions, contextual thinking and vocabulary.
Learners will also develop general writing skills such as sentence structure, grammar, spelling, paragraph formation and more.
Finally, students will learn to formulate their own opinions and share their thoughts with others clearly and effectively. They will also build critical thinking skills through exciting discussion.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Kristin, and I absolutely love teaching on Outschool. My goal is to build engaging classes centered around my two passions: writing and science.
Although writing and science seem like two completely different topics, they can be taught simultaneously to build a deeper understanding of both subjects. For example, I offer an ‘Essay Writing Through Scientific Exploration’ course, in which students study fascinating science concepts, and then write structured essays about their findings. Whether your learner is a scientist or a writer, they will learn new skills while deepening others.
I have been an English teacher and tutor for more than 7 years, and I have two university degrees in English and writing. This experience allows me to offer a variety of entirely writing-focused courses as well. I offer both ongoing classes and semester-long, full curriculum courses in writing and English language arts.
I have to admit, some of my favorite classes are creative writing classes. I've been writing creatively since elementary school, and I think telling stories is so much fun! I’m a published author, and I love sharing my passion with learners.
In terms of science, I have been a STEM teacher for more than 3 years. I trained at the NASA Glenn Research center, where real engineers taught me the best principles for teaching STEM to young students. While working for my local library, I hosted a STEM summer-day camp, ran a weekly science club, taught students how to use 3D printers, and coached a LEGO League.
My journey as an online teacher began as an ESL teacher with VIPKid and Magic Ears. This gave me essential skills to make virtual learning impactful. Ultimately, my varied experience allows me to make classes that are specific and unique, while simultaneously engaging and fun. There is a lot to cover, but my hope is to offer a curriculum that no other teacher has before.
When I'm not teaching, you can find me writing, reading, playing video games or baking. (Especially bread.) My favorite thing to do is hike with my best friend. (Who happens to be a 60-pound puppy named Gus.)
