English/Language Arts is more than just reading, writing, and spelling. Yes, this is the bulk of English class, however, I make my classes fun and enjoyable with hands-on activities. So many students struggle with Language Arts, and I want to change that misconception.

My class will include lecture, hands-on activities, assessment, games, and activities to teach the topic of the week.
We will begin each class with a welcome. 
I will review or take questions.
On Mondays, I will introduce our weekly spelling and vocabulary words.
I will lecture the class on our new topic for the week.
We will go over our reading sections for the week and discuss what we read.
We will end class with our writing goal and lesson.
I will assess the group in various way to be sure the class understands the topic: by class discussion, Q&A, Trivia game, etc.
We will wrap up class with homework assignments for the week, any final questions.

Students are encouraged to message me outside of class if they have any questions, concerns, or need extra help. I offer private tutoring classes on Outschool, and am happy to offer these to my English students with a discount.

Learners will need to be ready for 5th/6th grade level English. This does not mean students must be in these grades. This simply means, any student can be in this class, no matter age or grade, as long as the student is ready for 5th/6th grade English. If you have questions about this, please message me and I can help you decide if you are ready for this class.

Lesson plans are listed below. However, if you will notice as the class progresses, we will be applying what we have learned to writing assignments. These assignments will be broken down into phases so students are not overwhelmed.

Students must respectful and mindful of other students in class. Students need to be able to mute and unmute themselves. I highly encourage class discussion and interaction, but not during lecture or teaching moments. I want all students to have fun and develop a love for English.
