Writing Journey Minis: Creative and Basic Skills Paragraphs

Writing is a journey of self-development and self-discovery. This self-paced course guides learners on four (plus a bonus warm-up) mini journeys to build solid paragraphs and solid brain connections to make writing meaningful in daily life. 

Set in the beauty of nature with a journey motif, the course meets United States educational standards while connecting these writing skills to daily living.

The course was created for learners who are interested or experienced in my longer writing journeys, but need quicker strength-building exercises right now; learners who need a "bunny hill" beginning before climbing the "mountain" with me; and learners in my live classes who are looking for supplemental writing practice or a more flexible schedule of English language arts homework assignments. 

Learners can pace themselves and complete several mini journeys in a week as a bootcamp, or use the course over a series of weeks. 

Each mini journey will consist of a 3-5 minute video and a worksheet. Learners will also be offered optional videos in each lesson to customize their experience -- level-up videos will provide additional writing tips and techniques for learners who want a challenge, and power-up videos will give additional support for learners who want help with the assignment.

Learners can also customize their interaction with this streamlined, process-oriented, low-tech writing class. The course stays within the Outschool platform for simplicity and structure, and learners can complete the homework by: 
1. downloading the PDF, completing the worksheet, and uploading the completed work (by document scan or photo) to the teacher for feedback, OR
2. typing the assignment and sending to the teacher as a classroom post or direct message, OR
3. using personal paper and sending (by document scan or photo) to the teacher for feedback.

All completed assignments that are submitted to the teacher within the timeframe will receive feedback and guidance. Parents are invited to customize their learners' feedback experience by sending me the feedback survey in the welcome email you will receive upon enrollment.

Throughout the course, I will model writing and working through each assignment in print handwriting, and learners are welcome to use print, cursive or typing for their own work. 

Most of all, I hope all of my learners feel connected and accompanied where they are so that they will be encouraged and strengthened to take the next steps in their thinking and writing skills. As always, please contact me directly if there is a way that I can accommodate your learner to make the material serve your needs.
