*๐…๐ž๐ž๐๐›๐š๐œ๐ค* I provide feedback in the glow and grow format. A "glow" is something you did well, and a "grow" is an area where you can make your writing even better. No grammar feedback provided - this is a writing class.

The teacher models what he or she expects, which gives students a starting point and provides them with access to the ideas that will help them begin the writing process.

Learning Goals

Mastering the basic writing process allows students to become strong, confident writers and readers. Outschoolers will benefit the most from this class if they have a limited understanding of writing rules. Students who have a basic knowledge of grammar. Spelling and sentence structure errors will occur, and that is to be expected as your student masters the writing process.
