US Grade 3 - 6
In this one-time class, students will become better writers as they learn to write good paragraphs. First, we'll talk about the structure of a paragraph and what a topic sentence is. Students will learn to identify topic sentences. After that, we dive into paragraph unity as students learn how to make sure all their sentences relate to the topic sentence and provide supporting details. They will do some exercises where they pick out a sentences that don't belong in a paragraph. Finally, they will write their own paragraph. This is a great class for students who can use a brush-up on writing good paragraphs as well as students who are relatively new to understanding paragraph structure and unity. Students will gain confidence in their writing skills as they learn to write good paragraphs and share them with the class. Students should be reading and writing at a 3rd grade level or higher to be successful in this class.
Learning Goals
Students will come away from this class with a clear idea of how to write a good paragraph.

Master's Degree from University of Wisconsin-Stout

I love working with kids! I have 13 years of teaching experience, and I have taught in both traditional school settings and as a homeschool parent. I am passionate about helping kids at all levels of their reading and writing journey. It's so exciting when I see a student gain confidence as a reader/writer or when I can help a young aspiring writer achieve their dreams.
My writing experience includes writing copy for marketing materials, ghost writing for corporate executives, technical writing, writing newspaper articles, and writing instructions for digital technology applications. Managing a corporate internal newsletter was one of my favorite projects. I created the newsletter design, interviewed and wrote articles about team members, and managed the editing and submission process for all the contributors. As a hobby, I love to write short stories, poetry, and songs. I can't imagine my life without writing.
My education includes a BA in Communications and a Master of Science in Technical and Professional Communication (MSTPC). Because I have completed 2 years of my BA and all of my MS classes online, I am skilled with the various aspects of online learning. I love using what I have learned to help kids become better at reading and writing.
