Experiencia de clase

A good short story grabs you from the first word, has well- developed characters and a plot that keeps you reading. 

In this class, the student will write four different short stories. Everyone in the class will write the four same themes/ genres to give everyone a chance to see different approaches to the subject. 

The four themes/genres are: 

Fantasy
Realistic Fiction 
Ghost or horror 
Historical Fiction 

Each theme will be covered in one hour where we will discuss what makes that genre special and how to write a good short story for that specific theme. We will include things like research, outlining, characters, how to create a certain mood or feeling in a story and hero/villains. 

Then the students have two weeks to write their stories and post in the Outschool classroom the latest 48 hours before the next class. If they need feedback/help during the two weeks they can reach out to me by email and I will help them. I suggest to create a google doc document for the class and invite me to edit. 

Every student needs to read the others stories and be able to give good feedback on the plot, the characters and the feeling in the story. We won't focus on grammar or spelling but the story needs to be readable for everyone. There will be a document with instructions on how to give constructive feedback. 

We will discuss each story for about 10 minutes each.

The schedule will be like this

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in personal experience. Growing up with dysgraphia, I encountered teachers who left me feeling uncomfortable, insecure, and inadequate. Those experiences shaped my commitment to creating an environment where every student feels welcome, confident, and supported. My goal is to build students up, ensuring they leave my classes with both knowledge and self-assurance.

As a teacher, I bring a wide array of subjects to life in my classes, ranging from creative writing and Swedish (my native language) to world religions, the Holocaust, and novel studies with a focus on folklore. Each subject reflects my passions and areas of expertise, offering students a rich and dynamic learning experience.

With a master’s degree in education and a double major in social and political science and world religions, my professional background equips me to guide students through diverse and complex topics. Having taught across various age groups in Sweden and now the USA, I also incorporate the principles of student democracy, encouraging students to take an active role in shaping their own learning journey.


On a personal note, I’ve always had a vivid imagination—perhaps a result of my Nordic upbringing. As a child in Sweden, I was fascinated yet terrified by the stories of fairies that pervade our folklore. Now, as an immigrant in the USA, I weave that sense of wonder into my own creative works, which have earned me awards for poetry and short stories.
