𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚 their 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 with 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 based on the hamburger writing method. 🌟 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜? Writing isn’t just putting words on paper—it’s how we share our ideas, connect with others, and make an impact. 

 ✨ Writing helps you share feelings, tell amazing stories, and inspire others. Your words can make people smile, think, or even dream big!

🌟 When you write clearly and with care, people trust what you say. Good writing shows you're thoughtful and ready to share great ideas.

🧠 Writing helps you explain your ideas in smart, easy-to-understand ways. You’ll get better at solving problems and showing your thinking.

By the end of the class, your learner will have completed a portfolio of polished paragraphs that showcase their writing skills. Did I mention we will have fun?!   This self-paced scheduled class is an excellent fit for emerging and/or reluctant writers and emerging confident writers. Prior knowledge of paragraph writing is helpful but unnecessary, as we will work on these skills in our sessions.
