***I'm taking a sabbatical from teaching until the Fall 2024 to recharge and pursue some personal projects. I'm looking forward to returning refreshed and energized.*** This course outline presents a comprehensive and ambitious curriculum designed to enhance the writing skills of advanced students through the exploration of a wide range of non-fiction subgenres. Here's an overview and analysis of the structure and educational goals of this class, along with potential benefits and challenges: Course Structure Diverse Non-Fiction Subgenres: The inclusion of 27 types of non-fiction writing, from history and philosophy to self-help and journalism, provides students with a broad spectrum of writing experiences. This diversity ensures that students gain proficiency in various writing styles and understand the unique conventions and audience expectations of each genre. Vocabulary Building: The focus on integrating 48 "funny sounding vocabulary words" into writing is an innovative approach to vocabulary expansion. This method not only enriches students' linguistic repertoire but also encourages creative thinking and precision in word choice. Writing and Revising Techniques: The use of quick writes, model writing, and structured peer review sessions emphasizes the importance of the writing process. Students are taught to rapidly generate ideas, refine their writing through targeted revisions, and engage in constructive feedback, fostering a supportive learning environment. Educational Goals Enhanced Vocabulary: By focusing on the integration of advanced and multi-syllabic words, the course aims to improve students' verbal expressiveness and ability to comprehend complex texts. Mastery of Non-Fiction Elements: Students will learn to identify and apply the key elements of non-fiction across various subgenres, enhancing their analytical skills and adaptability as writers. Genre-Specific Writing Skills: The targeted approach to writing in different non-fiction genres helps students develop specific skills and knowledge related to each field, preparing them for a wide range of writing tasks and careers. Benefits Skill Development: Students will emerge from this course with a well-rounded skill set, including advanced vocabulary, genre-specific writing abilities, and a deep understanding of non-fiction conventions. Creativity and Engagement: The course's focus on fun, humor, and creativity makes learning enjoyable and encourages students to take risks in their writing. Preparation for Real-World Writing: By covering a wide array of non-fiction genres, the course prepares students for the types of writing they will encounter in higher education, the workplace, and personal projects. Challenges High Level of Difficulty: The course is designed for advanced writers and features a high level of rigor. This intensity may be challenging for some students, requiring a significant commitment to keep pace with the coursework. Time Management: The breadth of genres covered and the weekly introduction of new vocabulary and writing assignments may demand substantial time outside of class for reading, writing, and revision. Conclusion This course represents a comprehensive effort to equip advanced writers with the skills necessary to excel in non-fiction writing across a variety of genres. Its innovative approach to vocabulary learning, combined with deep dives into genre-specific writing practices, offers students a unique opportunity to enhance their writing skills in a challenging yet supportive environment. The course's emphasis on creativity, humor, and student engagement further distinguishes it as a valuable addition to the curriculum of aspiring writers. Students will write in a variety of non-fiction subgenres: History, Philosophy, Theory Based Personal Experience, Science, Popular Science, Social Science, Essay, Self-Help, Business & Economics, Health & Wellness, Crafts & Hobbies, Travel Guide, Cookbook, Parenting & Family, Children's Non-Fiction, Educational Guide, Textbook, Language Book, Humor, Arts Book, Memoirs & Autobiographies, Biography, Travel Literature, and Journalism. Study is deep, intense, and full of laughs to offset the high level of challenge. Students will create context to allow for the smooth transition of unfamiliar words into their own vocabulary when writing. This class is for advanced writers. This class is very challenging and has a high level of rigor. Part I should be taken before Part II and Part III as content and skill increases with each week. Fun and bubbly teacher promotes laughter and encourages quick thinking. I want to make writing your favorite hobby, or at least make it as pain-free as possible. I use short three-minute writings to drive instruction in improving tone and point of view within writing. This is an on-going class. Structure: As an example, these are the tasks from class #1 Identify components of Non-fiction Name the five types of genre Explain the purpose of non-fiction Writing Build background knowledge Identify components of Non-fiction Identify components of historical non-fiction genre Review an example Dissect the example to show how this example fits the Write in the style of non-fiction Utilize unfamiliar vocabulary within writing Students may join or leave at any time.

***Students must have their camera turned on. This is not a lecture type of class. Students will be encouraged to participate and usually do so easily. Your student's presence adds to the atmosphere of the class. If your student is unwilling to keep their cameras on, I will dismiss them from class. Engagement is key in student understanding and I need to see a visual to gauge your student's participation and understanding so that I may reteach a topic or review if necessary.***
