This is a one-on-one ongoing tutoring course in which you can "drive" the session by requesting skills or topics to be covered! We could work with one of your school assignments or I can pull from the many lessons I have at my fingertips after teaching for over 15 years! These may include writing craft lessons such as using detail, organization, hooks, thesis statements, conclusions, or using/explaining evidence. Reading lessons may include reading comprehension, finding and explaining evidence, identifying literary elements, determining conflict, theme, or characterization, or reading strategies such as making inferences or connections. 

Just a couple sample teacher-provided stand-alone lessons are below.
Writing with Sensory Details
Define sensory details, warm up with verbal exercise. Read a short descriptive mentor text provided by the teacher. Identify sensory details we notice and explain how they enhance the writing. Given a writing prompt, do a quick write using sensory details. Read aloud and identify sensory details in own writing. Revise to improve or add to the piece. End with call-to-action to continue noticing and practicing skill.

Understanding Theme in Literature
Discuss learner's favorite books/movies/games and identify what they're "about". Agree on a working definition of "theme", circle back to discussion to identify the themes of one or two of the stories. Distinguish between topic and theme. Read a short piece of fiction provided by the teacher together. Work together to determine the theme (vs. topic). If time, practice writing a response that explains the theme with evidence from the text. 

If you would like to book a multi-day course instead, I can work with your schedule to find a date and time that works best.
