This class focuses on a new vocabulary word each week. We will stick to a 6 week theme and the words will be taken from things that YOU love! Each class will take a new vocabulary word that you might not know the meaning of. We will not only learn what the word means, but we will learn where is came from, how to use it, and create our own piece of writing with it. These are quick lessons, but you will walk away learning something fun and new! Each class I will be introducing a new word and encouraging students to use context clues and think about that word and what it means. Then we will follow that with the exact definition. We will learn the origin of the word after that. We will end the class taking some time to create our own writing pieces and sharing them out with the group if the students choose to do so. My teaching style is fun and interactive, but I also respect students when they choose not the participate or share. I will utilize video clips, music, and discussion throughout the lesson. **PS the theme for the next 6 weeks is 👻 HORROR 🕷! For all you spooky kids we will be focused on the origins of words that we associate with paranormal, folklore, and all things scary! October 21-27: Macabre October 28-November 3: Specter November 3-9: Goblin November 10-16: Phantasmagoria November 18-22: Petrifying November 24-30: Mound
