This class is suitable for students ages 9 - 14  who have gone through the first course. The goal is to improve  creativity and versatility in writing. It goes more in-depth into WRITING STYLE, giving your student a wider range of writing options.   

  So a sentence like:

We slid down the muddy hill.

will become:

Slipping and sliding, we slithered down the muddy hill.

Also

A sentence like:

I like to run and skip around on the playground.

will become:

Running and skipping around on the playground is what I like to do.
 
 
Learners will learn using a step by step approach and immediately have the opportunity to practice their newly acquired skill.
Parents will have an outline of the skill taught at the end of each lesson so as to encourage their child to use said skills in their various school assignments/homework.
I will work off google slides, which all learners will have access to for due reference.
Learners will be able to ask questions during class and can email me  Monday-Friday 9:00-5:00.
