Beginner Level
In this Fantasy and Science Fiction Writing Workshop BEGINNER writers will work on setting, characters, plot and writing stamina. Students can use this workshop to better their current work-in-progress or they can start completely empty handed. Plenty of inspiration and brainstorming exercises will be done during the lessons. Please understand that this workshop does not focus on grammar. Like all writers we must start with a rough draft. Instead we will focus on the fantasy and science fiction genre and great story telling.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I absolutely love reading, writing and language and I believe fostering that starts with our littlest learners. I enjoy diving into literature and making the story come alive, while also helping to foster comprehension skills, vocabulary development and critical thinking. I aim to create an atmosphere of community and a safe place to share thoughts and ideas.
After a few years teaching (4-8th grade) English and Writing and ESL (PK-8th grade) I am now a stay at home mom, in the process of writing my very own book, and teaching here on Outschool. It is in honor to help kids learn and grow as readers, writers and speakers.
If I'm not teaching, reading or writing, I am spending time with my family, most likely outside where we hike, camp and go on picnics.
