The class will be structured around a combination of direct instruction, collaborative activities, and independent practice. Each session will typically begin with a brief review or introduction of the day's topic, followed by guided exercises, group discussions, and hands-on writing activities. 

My teaching method will be where I encourage active participation, critical thinking, and creativity. Students will be encouraged to explore different writing styles and genres, fostering a deeper understanding of effective communication. I will model writing strategies and provide constructive feedback.

My teaching style will blend elements of inquiry-based learning and direct instruction. Emphasis will be placed on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to take risks, express their ideas, and refine their writing through drafts and revisions.

Students will have ample opportunities to interact with me through class discussions, small group activities, and individual discussions during the work cycle.  Feedback will be given regularly to guide students in their writing journey and foster continuous improvement.
