Students will improve creative writing skills while having fun in this high-energy, interactive class! They will begin a short story inspired by a picture that can be worked on after class as well.  

Each class will begin with a verbal warm-up game to get creative juices flowing.  Next, students will participate in a short lesson specific to improving a specific aspect of creative writing.  Lessons will include instruction in:
- Getting ideas for writing
- Power of 1st sentences
- Choosing juicy words
- Developing characters
- Incorporating conflict
- Show-don't-tell
- Thinking outside of the box
- Punctuating quotes
- ... and more!

Students will then receive a link to a shared whiteboard (Google Drive document) where they will see the picture assigned for that week and can type directly in their assigned box within the document.  (They can choose to write on paper instead).

Students will be invited to share their stories with the group each week (as time permits) and receive feedback from the instructor.  Ongoing support and guidance will be provided as well.

Metas de aprendizaje

Students will improve their creative writing skills, especially as it pertains to thinking fast and thinking outside the box so their writing is more creative and dynamic.

I fell in love with teaching because I truly enjoyed watching my students fall in love with learning!  I LOVE sharing the things I love - Theatre, Public Speaking, Words, Games, Communication, Writing, and Life Skills!  I have tons of energy and enthusiasm that is contagious - I make learning fun!

I achieved a life-long dream when I sold my children’s theatre in South Florida to travel the United States in an RV (with my husband, kids, and dog) and teach! We have recently settled down (temporarily) in Las Vegas! 

As a professional actor, director, and producer, I am passionate about the performing arts and the skills students get from participating in it.  As a professional speaker and speech writer, I love to teach students how to effectively find their voice and communicate their message with the world!  I have taught students of all ages - Acting and Directing, Speech & Debate, Public Speaking, SAT Prep, Writing, and various Life Skills like Memory and Goal Setting.  I love my thousands of students across the world - past, present and future!  I am also a Toastmaster and an IEW teacher. I am the founder of the Articulatable Membership!

I have a BA in English, a Minor in Theatre, and a Masters in Education, Curriculum and Instruction.  My years of life and teaching experience make me a great match for many types of learners.

I have 4 kids of my own (ages 28, 26, 14, and 12), an amazing husband (Hugh Coley, who also teaches on Outschool as "Mr. Yo"), an adorable dog, and an amazing life!  I look forward to helping your student fall in love with learning!
