1-2 horas por semana. Each week, students will have an essay to write. Some weeks there will be more homework than others, depending on the type of essay we are working on. For example, the week we do an expository essay, students will need to do some research on a topic, so this might take them a littler longer than essays where no research is needed. There will be a short (about 15-minute) grammar lesson on the third day of the week. There may be a small amount of homework from this if kids don't finish in class. This lesson is designed to be short and with minimal homework (up to 15-minutes of homework).
Calificación
After students turn their essay in to me, I will send them written feedback that includes what they did well and any suggestions I have for improvement or other classes that might benefit them. I am happy to provide letter grades and other types of assessments upon request.

In this ongoing class, kids will meet 3 times a week and write a different type of essay each week. As they write their essays, they will be coached on the structure of an essay, outlining, researching, writing good sentences and paragraphs, grammar, punctuation, and editing. On the third day of class each week, kids will have an opportunity to read what they have written (optional) and we will do a short grammar lesson. 

Learners will be able to write an essay every week for as long as they stay enrolled, or they can drop in on any given week for some extra writing practice. 

Here is a breakdown of what to expect each day of the week for this class:
Day 1: Learn about the type of essay, read an example, and start planning (often with the use of planning or graphic organizer worksheets made available in the classroom)
Day 2: Continue planning and begin handwriting a rough draft, which is due on day 3 
Day 3: Opportunity to read rough draft to the class (optional), create an editing checklist to use when writing/typing the rough draft, and do a short grammar lesson (worksheets available in the classroom). Some weeks there will not be a grammar lesson. It depends on how much time we have.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría desde University of Wisconsin-Stout

I love working with kids! I have 15 years of teaching experience, and I have taught in both traditional school settings and as a homeschool parent. I am passionate about helping kids at all levels of their reading and writing journey. It's so exciting when I see a student gain confidence as a reader/writer or when I can help a young aspiring writer achieve their dreams.

My writing experience includes writing copy for marketing materials, ghost writing for corporate executives, technical writing, writing newspaper articles, and writing instructions for digital technology applications. Managing a corporate internal newsletter was one of my favorite projects. I created the newsletter design, interviewed and wrote articles about team members, and managed the editing and submission process for all the contributors. As a hobby, I love to write short stories, poetry, and songs. I can't imagine my life without writing.

My education includes a Master of Science in Technical and Professional Communication (MSTPC) and a BA in Communications. Because I have completed 2 years of my BA and all of my MS classes online, I am skilled with the various aspects of online learning. I love using what I have learned to help kids become better at reading and writing.
