このクラスで学べること
In this class, we will study a paragraph from a well-known book every week. After we have analyzed it as a group and I have pointed out its strengths, students will be given a writing prompt that will allow them to practice the writing strengths demonstrated in that paragraph. During class time, students will write a paragraph of their own and I will be on hand to answer any questions they have. At the end of each class, students will have an opportunity to share their work with their classmates and receive feedback from myself and their peers (only positive comments will be made by students!). This class will improve writing skills while also serving as a kind of club, since students will have a kind community to share their writing in. We will study a paragraph from each of the following books on the following dates: 1/8 or 1/17 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling 1/15 or 1/24 - The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien 1/22 or 1/31 - Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson 1/29 or 2/7 - The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins 2/5 or 2/14 - The Silver Chair, by C.S. Lewis 2/12 or 2/21 - To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee 2/19 or 2/28- The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald 2/26 or 3/6 - The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green 3/4 or 3/13- Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck 3/11 or 3/20 - Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens 3/18 or 3/27 - Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain 3/25 or 4/3 - The Giver, by Louis Lowry 4/1 or 4/10 - Animal Farm, by George Orwell 4/8 or 4/17 - 1984, by George Orwell 4/15 or 4/24 - Lord of the Flies, by William Golding 4/22 or 5/1 - Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury 4/29 or 5/8 - The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak 5/6 or 5/15 - The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger 5/13 or 5/22 - Divergent, by Veronica Roth Reading the books will not be necessary for class, and I will avoid choosing paragraphs that involve any heavy spoilers! :) I am a professional ghostwriter who has written over 40 full-length books. My writing classes are fun while also reinforcing grammar and sentence composition skills within the framework of creative writing. I am a huge supporter of homeschooling, having been homeschooled myself. I am a kind and encouraging teacher who makes sure everyone feels at ease!

教師の専門知識と資格
Hello!
My name is Maura, and I'm an actor, musician, poet, and teacher. I have been teaching and tutoring for fifteen years. I'm always excited to share what I've learned with my students!
I graduated summa cum laude from Carthage College with degrees in Music and Theater Performance, and have been performing professionally as an actor and musician. I regularly perform with a children's theater that teaches kids about conservation!
I am also a published poet, and a professional ghostwriter and freelance book editor. As a huge nerd, I have read and am currently reading countless books, and I have an in-depth knowledge of plot creation and good literary structure.
I also teach life skills, particularly cultivating motivation and dealing with overwhelming or negative emotions. I was home-schooled until college, and I am an extremely self-motivated person, as well as a problem-solver. As a highly sensitive person, I have to deal with stress often and have discovered numerous ways to deal with the inevitable tensions that life brings to us! I learned to be a positive person in high school, and I love teaching students ways to appreciate what is good even in the midst of negative situations.
I am a very kind, patient, and encouraging teacher. I do well with both quiet and energetic students. My approach is question based, and I not only teach my students new information, I teach them how to arrive at valuable conclusions themselves. I use time efficiently, and am well prepared for every lesson I teach. I was homeschooled through high school, and I have a lot of respect for homeschooling parents and students.
I hope to see you virtually soon!
