주당 1시간. Every week, students can write as much as they like on their own...or nothing. They can simply write in class if they prefer.학습 평가
No grade, but we celebrate when they finish their book. I also give them feedback on up to five double-spaced typed pages each week.보고계신 지문은 자동 번역 되었습니다

I love helping kids write stories and chapter books. My class is a lot of fun, with a lot of multi-sensory prompts and laughter. Many of my students even publish their books and get the actual book in the mail. When they get their books, they often show them to the class. It is a huge joy sparkler! The chapter book class is most effective for kids who love books and storytelling and are eager to write a book. In this class, I help them build their creative confidence and writing skills through their imaginations. They can write any kind of story - a roblox story, a fairy story, an adventure story, a horror story...whatever they love! This is an ongoing class, which means kids can start it at any time. Kids are constantly starting and finishing books. Your child will write their first chapter or story in their first class. Please make sure they brainstorm their story idea before the class. You'll get a direct message on Outschool in your inbox and their inbox with bonus videos and material. They should send me a direct message about their idea. Note that if your child is 11 and up, I have a novel-writing class for this age group. Here is how the class is designed: 15-20 Minutes: Brainstorm their chapters or stories and share a creativity object (they bring fun things to add to their stories or they make them up. 10 Minutes: They write their chapter or story for 10 minutes. 5-10 Minutes: I give them one more skill and we look at an example from a book they love. We will play a game here, connected to the topic like the popcorn game or spin the wheel, or we'll play a game at the end. 10 Minutes: Write for 10 minutes. 5 Minutes: Game - Gimkit, Scattergories... They can write outside of class but this isn't necessary. They can also just write in class. The most important thing is they find the writing fun and low pressure. If they want to finish a book, they should write a bit outside of class so they finish a couple of pages or a chapter every week. During the writing time, students can ask me individual questions in the chat or get help. I also give them fun ways to come up with ideas. UPCOMING SCHEDULE FOR THE BOOK WRITING CLASS (Kids join anytime and the topics apply to any chapter or story.) Mar 10-16: Characters, Description, Emotions, Metaphor and Similes Mar 17-23: Multi-Sensory Writing and Show Don’t Tell Mar 24-30: Goals, Obstacles, Internal and External Conflict Mar 31-April 6: Common Writing Mistakes + YOUR FABULOUS WRITING April 7-12: Voice, Personality, Humor April 13-20: How to Get UNSTUCK, Exploring the Weird April 21-27: Tension and Suspense April 28-May 4: Action Scenes: Physical action, crowd scenes May 5-11: Beautiful Language Devices & Emotion May 12-18: Planning Your Book - the next four chapters May 19-25: Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them SOME CLASSES WILL FINISH THIS WEEK AND RESTART IN THE FALL! YOU CAN TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SECTION FOR THE SUMMER IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONTINUE WEEKLY CLASSES. I WILL ALSO HAVE CAMPS TO WRITE A LOT AND FINISH YOUR BOOK FAST. June 2-8 - 15: Dialogue Jun 9-15: Goals and obstacles Jun 16-22: Dramatization and Multisensory writing June 23-29: Fear and Tension June 30-July 6: 6 Key Elements of Every Chapter July 7-13: Kindness and Humor July 14-20: Beautiful language July 25-July 31: NO CLASSES Aug 1: Hooks and cliffhangers Aug 4-10: Dialogue Aug 11-17: Conflict Aug 18-24: Specific nouns and verbs Aug 25-31: Make your character funny or weird - capture their heart! ** Every class is unique, with different examples and different focuses even if it covers the same area of the writing craft because many kids stay in my classes for years and I want it to be new for them.** **For every class, bring an object or think up an object to give as a "creativity gift" or to use in your own story. (It can also be something you imagine.) This adds a lot of fun.

그 외 세부 사항
학습 요구
This class is good for kids with ADHD, anxiety, sensory needs, dyslexia, ESL. I decrease stress this way: no reading aloud or sharing (except with me) and mute for writing time. Reach out if your kid has special needs.
학부모 가이드
I will be sharing slides on Canva, sometimes using excerpts from kid and middle grade novels. For example, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, or the first books in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
사전 요구 사항
No requirements. If they can write a paragraph, they can write a book, and they'll find a great deal of joy in doing it.

I'm a published young adult novelist and a writing teacher with over twenty years teaching experience, and I've designed award-winning writing curriculums based on multi-sensory writing prompts and positive feedback. The key to helping kids and teens grow as writers is to build their creative confidence and help them believe in themselves.
As a novelist, I've written two acclaimed young adult novels, Trafficked and This Is Not a Love Letter, published by Penguin and Disney-Hyperion. This Is Not a Love Letter was one of NPR's top books of 2018 and Trafficked made several state lists for top books. They've both received starred reviews and made top lists for books.
Penguin is also publishing my writing guide! It's called The Busy Writer's Guide to Finishing a Book in 100 Days. It's designed for teens and adults, but you will get a lot of similar advice in this class.
If you want to learn more about me as an author, you can always go to my author website, under my name.
Besides writing my own books, my passion is helping kids, teens and adults write their books and achieve their dreams. I've been teaching ESL, essay-writing, and novel-writing classes for kids, teens and adults outside of Outschool for over twenty years. I currently run two successful in-person after-school programs for creative writing in Los Angeles. I've also taught homeschooled kids in both New York City and Los Angeles, and even homeschooled one of my kids. Furthermore, I was the first curriculum director of the famous non-profit, WriteGirl in Los Angeles, and I helped build it into the multi-sensory interactive writing program it is today.
In terms of education, I have a BA in international Relations from the University of British Columbia, one of Canada's elite colleges, as well as a journalism degree from BCIT and a Masters of Fine Arts in Writing from VCFA, which qualifies me to teach at the college level.
More importantly than my education and experience, I think, is that I have so much fun with my students and sincerely care for their well-being. My goal is to make them feel confident about their writing and inspired to write even more or go on to achieve any other creative goal in their lives. 리뷰
