Enamórate de los pareados: ¡rimemos y pasemos un rato encantador!

During this fun online class, students will learn about couplet poems and submit 12 or more original couplets. A couplet poem usually has 2 lines that rhyme. Some examples of relevant rhyming words are "fairy" and "berry," "roar" and "dinosaur," "crown" and "gown," "nose" and "rose," "cat" and "rat," and "horn" and "unicorn." Additionally, each line has about the same number of syllables. During our first week, I will review rhyming, syllables, nouns, adjectives, and verbs. There will be a rhyming word search, "I Have, Who Has" game, and virtual scavenger hunt each week. Throughout the course, I will upload lively videos, poetry examples, writing prompts, and helpful handouts. 

Families can appreciate the variety, creativity, and flexibility in this course. Students will be given examples, encouragement, and support throughout our time together. Some learners may need help with reading, writing, and spelling. So, it would be ideal if there are available resources or adults to help them. But, I will be available and accommodating. I'm excited to connect and create with this great group. Learners often inspire me and each other with their fresh, funny, and interesting ideas. My friendly personality helps facilitate learning and conversations.

We will use the Outschool classroom to interact, post, and view material. * There are no live meetings for this class. * I know that a lot of learners are busy and live in different time zones. So, I just ask that every learner tries their best to submit at least 1 couplet poem per week. Additionally, learners should give some positive feedback to different students throughout the course. It can be a simple "Good job!" or a more detailed compliment. I strive to make educational spaces safe, enjoyable, and engaging.
