Write Now, Right Now | 7 Minute Grammar Challenges for 4 Learners
What's included
1 live meeting
15 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
I have a grammar challenge for you. But I also have an exploding taco timer. You in? Keep an eye on the time as you tackle prompts like... Write a sentence for each of the seven conjunctions. Add some adjectives to this rather boring paragraph. Make a list of words that begin and end with the same letter. We'll start class with a quick "hello" and then the challenge will be revealed. I'll start the seven minute timer (expect a different timer every week), and away we go! Once the time is up, you must stop! No cheating now! To end class, we'll share what you've written, but only if you want to share. (If you'd rather post it in the chat or in the classroom afterwards, that's fine!) This class is only 15 minutes long. And there are only 4 spots available per section. Expect a small writing club atmosphere! Class will run despite the number of learners present. So what are the challenges? Well...I don't want to give too much away--I've already shown you three up there!--but you can check out the schedule below for a list of topics. If YOU have an idea for a challenge, share it and we'll try it in a future class! ⭐️If you're looking for more of a creative writing challenge instead of a grammar challenge, check out my other Write Now, Right Now class, linked below in the "Teacher suggests this class next" section.⭐️ ✏️Schedule✏️ Week of May 27: Synonym/Antonym Week of June 3: Conjunctions Week of June 10: Commas Week of June 17: Silent Letters Week of June 24: Sentence Challenges Week of July 1: Double Letters Week of July 8: Similes Future Dates TBA!

Earn blocks of time with each class you attend--either this class, the creative writing challenge class, or the journal prompts class. Once your stopwatch is half full, your next "Write Now, Right Now" class (any section) is free! You'll be refunded directly after class is over. Earn a second free class when all the spaces are full! You'll get a new stopwatch in your next class to start earning again. We're keeping things fast, fresh, and fun. Let's do this. If you have any questions, please ask! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⭐️This class is one of three in the "Write Now, Right Now" series.

Learning Goals
Students will practice a variety of targeted grammar skills (one per week):
-parts of speech (noun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, etc.)
-common spelling errors
-literary elements (simile, metaphor, etc.)
-punctuation (commas, periods, semicolons, etc.)
-verb tense
-subject verb agreement
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Despite its low price tag, the content is anything but fluff.
We are practicing grammatical skills even in this short amount of time, based around a fun prompt. Plus you have the added value of being one of only four learners for a more personalized class experience.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
As a former middle and high school English teacher, I've taught plenty of grammar lessons. But they were much longer and not as fun.
On Outschool, learners enjoy the writing club feel of a small group, my sense of humor (I think?), and the laid back atmosphere of my classes.
And some of them end up staying for years. Literally.
