週あたり 1-2 時間. Each week students will write a story that is between 300 and 700 words. They will also have graphic organizers and planners to help them design their stories.テスト
After students turn in their story, I will review it and send my feedback. My feedback will include things they did well and areas in which they can improve. I look for grammar, spelling, sentence and paragraph structure, good descriptions of characters and scenes, balancing dialogue with descriptions, using the 5 elements of a plot, tone, verb tenses, and how well they adhere to the specific characteristics of the type of story they are writing.この文章は自動翻訳されています

In this ongoing class, kids will write a different kind of fictional short story each week. Stories will range from 300-800 words. Each week we will explore a different kind of story (see a list below). There will be graphic organizers and planners available in the classroom. Each week's plan will be something similar to this: Day 1: Kids will learn about the genre by reading examples, identifying popular stories and authors, and examining the characteristics. They will begin to plan their own story using a planner or graphic organizer. Day 2: Students will plot the events of their story using a graphic organizer and share their ideas with the class. Their homework will be to write a rough draft of their story. Day 3: Kids will have an opportunity to read their story to the class. After this we will create an editing checklist together. Kids can use this editing checklist to revise and rewrite the final copy of their story. Stories will be due on Sunday. I will send feedback to the kids the week after they turn in their story. My feedback includes what they have done well and areas where they can improve. Some things I look for are grammar, spelling, good sentence and paragraph structure, and writing the story according to the characteristics for that type of fiction.

I choose age-appropriate story examples to refer to in class. I also talk with students about making sure the stories they write would have a G or PG rating if they were made into a movie.
Students may handwrite their stories. However, if they choose to type them, they can use either Google Docs or Microsoft Word.
受講に必要なもの
Note: Students do not have to have Word or Google Docs to do this class. Their stories can also be handwritten. If they are typing, the story can be typed in either Word or Google Docs - you do not need both. Students will need pencil or pen for graphic organizers and planners that are printed out. Students can edit the worksheets electronically if they would rather not print them out. They can also open them on their screen and write the answers on a separate page. Since they will write a story each week, they will need the tools necessary to either handwrite or type.

I love working with kids! I have 14 years of teaching experience, and I have taught in both traditional school settings and as a homeschool parent. I am passionate about helping kids at all levels of their reading and writing journey. It's so exciting when I see a student gain confidence as a reader/writer or when I can help a young aspiring writer achieve their dreams.
My writing experience includes writing copy for marketing materials, ghost writing for corporate executives, technical writing, writing newspaper articles, and writing instructions for digital technology applications. Managing a corporate internal newsletter was one of my favorite projects. I created the newsletter design, interviewed and wrote articles about team members, and managed the editing and submission process for all the contributors. As a hobby, I love to write short stories, poetry, and songs. I can't imagine my life without writing.
My education includes a BA in Communications and a Master of Science in Technical and Professional Communication (MSTPC). Because I have completed 2 years of my BA and all of my MS classes online, I am skilled with the various aspects of online learning. I love using what I have learned to help kids become better at reading and writing.レビュー
