Learners are assessed through class participation and application of the writing techniques taught. Learners turn in weekly homework assignments for evaluation. Students can share their stories on the classroom page. This class is designed to foster a love of storytelling, and while good writing and sentences will be addressed, that is not the emphasis.

In this 6 lesson interactive live class, the wild western frontier is the setting where your tall tale story comes to life. Each class will start with an interactive lecture where all students are expected to participate. We'll read (and watch videos) of the tall tales of Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, John Henry, Slue Foot Sue, and others, while exploring US history and geography. Through these fun adventures, you'll learn why these exaggerated stories were told in the first place. Before you write your own tall tale, you'll learn what every tall tale story needs to be successful. Finally, you'll P.L.A.Y. with your words to create a dynamic tall tale hero or heroine, craft an exciting plot full of conflict, and write a ridiculously exaggerated tall tale of your own with a satisfying and unbelievable resolution. Details: Every class starts out as a lecture then turns interactive to engage learners in conversation and class participation. Questions, discussions, and activities are encouraged for understanding and creating your own tall tale hero and story. Time will be given in class for writing assignments, however the majority of the writing will be done outside of class. See syllabus for lesson details. ** This class is designed to foster a love of storytelling, and while good writing and sentences will be addressed, that is not the emphasis or goal of this class.

***PARENTS PLEASE READ BEFORE TO REGISTRATION***
CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS: I will start each class announcing my class expectations which include:
**NOT using the chat box for messages not relative to the discussion and questions
**NO drawing and writing on the screen I use for teaching
**NO learner sharing their screen for any reason
**NO disruptive behavior such as flashing lights in the screen and constantly switching their background
While I understand many students are new to online learning, if a student does not respond to correction and continues disruptive behavior, he or she will be asked to leave the class for the day or the rest of the time. Videos may be accessed, however no refund will be issued if learner does not show cooperation in correction and is asked to leave class.
THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING these rules are in place due to problems in past classes (with younger students) and are enforced to ensure that ALL students have the best experience possible.

學士學位 由 Oral Roberts University
I'm a published fiction and nonfiction author, former homeschool mom of four, and have taught and tutored all ages for close to 20 years. I developed these creative writing and storytelling techniques when I started teaching an elective writing course at my kids' school over 10 years ago. This curriculum has developed over time and can be adapted for children of all ages to be successful in storytelling. I'm the author of "Release the Novel in You" workbook: The go-to fiction book for teen authors (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1508555710), and I teach advanced novel writing and storytelling as well as other writing and elective classes on Outschool.
What parents are saying:
Gina is a phenomenal writing teacher! We have loved working with her. We have a range of ages and she is great at adapting to their ages and learning styles. She's very patient and good at helping them focus. My kids have learned so much and been stretched and challenged in the area of writing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to advance in any area of writing! - Bethany mother of K, 1st, 3rd, 4th grade tutored students.
