1 hour per week. Part of the course is engaging in a writing activity. Students should spend 15-20 minutes responding to the prompt. They can then submit their response for feedback. I will provide feedback based on strengths I notice and one area I think they could improve on or would add to the content. This assignment will not be graded.Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 6
In this exciting 7-week course, students will virtually visit each of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Each session will feature a virtual tour of the destination, allowing students to explore and learn about the wonder’s unique features and significance. After our virtual adventure, students will be given a creative writing prompt inspired by the destination. They will have time during each session to begin drafting their responses, either on paper or through a Word document. At the end of our session, students may wish to share their writing. However, at times, students may need additional time outside of class to complete their writing. Once finished, they may share their work. If they would like to share it with others in the class, they will post it to the classroom, if they wish to only share it with me they should send it as an attachment in a private message. This class is perfect for students who love exploring new places and want to practice creative writing. It’s designed to provide a fun, creative outlet while honing writing skills.
