1. Students will practice writing the following text: journals, emails, thank-you notes, descriptions, letters to the editor, poems, product reviews and auto-biography.

3. Students will practice reading their own writing aloud.

Teaching writing skills, is something I have especially enjoyed. Creative writing, technical writing and journaling are all things I write and enjoy.  I teach English as a second language and teaching writing skills to non-English speaking students is especially challenging, giving me plenty of practice in instructing children in the art of writing. I hold a degree in Elementary education and have taught grades 2-5 in both public and private schools. I have numerous published articles as a former newsletter editor and as a freelance ghost-writer.
