Students will receive a prompt such as the examples above and be given time to write. If the class is reluctant or unsure, we will write a story together taking turns building the story one sentence at a time using the chat feature. At the end of class, if students choose to, they can read their creations aloud so we can congratulate them.

I have been teaching for 24 years, have English Education certification, and have published a book--but my main strength is helping students feel confident and safe enough to create with their own words. This will be a warm, welcoming and non-intimidating place to practice writing.
