US Grade 2 - 5
The goal of this class, Write Minded: 5 Day Narrative Writing Camp, is to develop narrative writing skills, including character, setting, plot, conflict, and point of view. Mentor (model) texts will include short stories, comics, and plays. During the 45 minute class: • Students will be welcomed to class. We will quickly review the class rules and our learning goals. • 5 minutes-- grammar mini lesson • 5-minute mini lesson on a writing skill. Emphasis will be placed on building the literary vocabulary. • Students will spend 25-30 minutes writing with teacher support. • 5 minutes--Students will then spend the end of class sharing their writing. • As a class, we will review the material covered in the mini lesson and I will answer any questions prior to dismissing the class. (NOTE: Children learn to write by writing! It is so important that they practice writing techniques and apply it to their own stories. If you feel your child would benefit from participating in the class again, I would love to have him/her join me in additional sections of the class!)
