Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
Beginner - Intermediate Level
In this structured, 30-minute class, students will learn essential paragraph writing skills! Topics include crafting a strong topic sentence, developing supporting details, and writing a clear conclusion sentence.

**This class is a one-time entry session**, offered weekly at a low price of $8, allowing parents and students to try the lesson and experience my teaching style (the same lesson repeats every week for this entry class). If students enjoy the lesson and would like to continue improving their paragraph writing, they are encouraged to join my ongoing "Master Paragraph Writing" class, where new lessons are introduced every week for continued learning with various paragraph styles and skills.

Link to my weekly class - "Master Paragraph Writing: Engaging Guided Practice for Ages 12-15":


Topics that are covered:

-Paragraph structure: topic sentence, supporting details, and conclusion.
-Techniques to organize paragraphs for clarity and flow.
-Strategies to strengthen writing and improve coherence.
-Analyzing example paragraphs to see concepts in action.
-Step-by-step guidance to write strong paragraphs.

Class structure:

-Introduction: Brief introduction and overview of the class agenda.
-Discussion: Interactive discussion on the topic students will write about.
-Lesson: Step-by-step teaching on how to structure and strengthen a paragraph.
-Analysis: Together, we'll analyze a sample paragraph to break down its structure.
-Writing: Students will plan and write their own paragraph, applying what they've learned.
**Feedback: Real-time feedback during the class and optional personalized comments via Google Docs after class.

Teaching style:

I will provide clear, step-by-step instruction using a hands-on approach. The class includes an interactive discussion, a focused lesson on paragraph writing, and personalized feedback. Students will engage in writing practice with structured guidance throughout.

I focus on being supportive and interactive to help students improve their writing skills. Through direct feedback and active participation, I encourage students to refine their paragraph writing. I ensure that students feel confident as they strengthen their writing abilities.

How I interact with students:

Students will actively interact with me throughout the class. They’ll engage in discussions about the writing topic, receive real-time feedback while writing, and ask questions to clarify any confusion. After the class, students can submit their Google Docs for additional personalized feedback.

 Parents should ensure that their child has a Google Drive account and is logged in before the class begins. A class worksheet will be shared via Google Docs at the start of the class, which will guide the students through the writing process.

**If a student needs additional time to complete their work outside of the 30 minutes, they can submit their work on the Classroom page when completed and I can offer personalized feedback.**

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to structure a well-organized paragraph, including crafting a clear topic sentence, supporting details, and a strong conclusion.
Students will practice writing a cohesive paragraph, applying strategies to improve clarity and coherence.
