Description

Class Experience

As a magazine writer and a former university news writer, I know how important it is to learn how to write a good news story. In this class, I'm will walk elementary students through the process of short article writing.

If students are unable to finish their articles in class, they may choose to finish them as homework in order to share them with me and receive feedback.
