For students to write a great essay, they have to understand the individual components. We will work step-by-step choosing topics, doing research, taking notes, and writing the essay. Students will be working on their essays in class, so they need to be able to access Google Docs during class. Each week, we will look at examples of the new concept, practice together through mentor writing, and then students will work on mastering the concept with their own essay. During the workshop portion of the class, students will get live, individual feedback on what they're working on. By the end of this class, students will have a polished final draft.

Perfil

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

Licenciatura desde University of Central Arkansas

I have a bachelor's degree in writing and journalism. I worked as a journalist for over five years and won several awards during my career. A large portion of my college years was spent studying creative and essay writing. I have self-published a few fiction books and I am currently working on another. I have taught in homeschool co-ops and taught my own children to read and write. Before changing my degree to writing, my study focus was on education. Several of the classes I took in college were on how to teach writing effectively.
