Class Experience

In this class students will learn how to write their own short stories.  They will use the provided short story planner to brainstorm the elements of their stories, including the characters, setting, problem/challenge and solution/outcome.  The class will last for 55 minutes during which students will complete their planners and begin to construct their short stories.  The timeframe for completing a story varies for each learner; therefore, students will have the opportunity to submit their finished short stories for feedback.  The course will consist of interactive learning activities to review and build background knowledge; opportunities for students to share their thinking in discussions; and will present information using presentation slides.  In addition, I will use modeling and gradual release techniques to help students plan and write their stories.  Students should bring an open mind, a positive attitude and the provided planner to the class session!

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of the elements of a story.
Students will use a graphic organizer to construct a short story.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Friends!  My name is Teacher Bonnie and I am an education professional with 14+ years experience in the Elementary Education field.  As a classroom teacher, I have taught all subject areas to students in 2nd-5th Grades.  I am most passionate about inspiring young readers and writers to understand the power of the written word for building and sharing knowledge and creative self-expression.  Additionally, I want learners to know that learning can be fun and take many forms!  I place high value on the importance of diverse perspectives in enriching the education experience.  Our varied backgrounds, cultures, and experiences are important in widening our perspectives and making them more well-rounded.  I also enjoy teaching science, social studies, as well as arts and crafts!  I enjoy reading, playing volleyball and dancing with my kids!  I look forward to the many adventures in learning we will have together.
