FLEX 저널 쓰기 초대 3, 4, 5학년: Minecraft 팁과 요령

****PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS FOR THIS CLASS****

Does your learner love Minecraft? Are you looking for a place where they can have fun, share Minecraft tips and develop journal writing skills at the same time? Look no further, this FLEX class is for your learner! Let’s start our Minecraft journal together as learners share their tips and tricks. This class gives learners the opportunity to practice their public speaking skills, while also designing their own book of Minecraft tips and tricks. This journal will also serve as a place to write down their accomplishments. If your child loves Minecraft let’s combine that with some academics - writing, speaking, journaling, and some art (Wink, wink they won’t know it’s academics). What a fun keepsake for them to go back and look at one day! The style of the teacher's journal examples are a combination between journal writing sentences and sketch noting. 

This is a great class for a reluctant writer who loves Minecraft as it helps motivate your learner to write and also promotes writing fluency.
