Are you ready to transform your writing skills and bring your stories to life? Welcome to our engaging and innovative writing class, where we break down the art of writing into its most fundamental element: the sentence. Writing is often perceived as a daunting task, with the focus typically placed on completing an entire piece. However, we believe that confidence in writing begins with mastering the tools and techniques needed to create impactful sentences.

Class Overview
In this class, we introduce the concept of sentence stacking, a successful method used in numerous schools across the United Kingdom. This approach involves examining and modeling an idea or writing extract, discussing the techniques used, and brainstorming with students to explore different ways to apply these techniques in their own words. Through collaborative and independent practice, students will craft effective and engaging sentences.

Who Can Join?
This class is open to writers of all abilities who can independently construct a simple sentence. Whether you're just beginning your writing journey or looking to refine your skills, this class provides a supportive environment for growth.

What Will You Learn?
Throughout the course, we’ll dive into a variety of writing techniques, including:
Repetition: Creating rhythm and emphasis
Similes: Drawing vivid comparisons
Onomatopoeia: Bringing sounds to life
Alliteration: Adding musicality to your writing
Rhyming: Enhancing the flow and structure
Personification: Giving life to inanimate objects
Adjectives and Adverbs: Adding detail and depth
Complex Sentences and Adverbial Phrases: Crafting sophisticated narrative structures

Class Structure
The class is guided and designed around the timeless tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. Students will learn techniques applicable to any fairy tale and are encouraged to write their own alongside Jack and the Beanstalk.

Pre-recorded Lessons: Each week, students receive a YouTube link to a video lesson with three focused writing goals, such as using similes, exciting verbs, or powerful adjectives.
Interactive Learning: Students will watch, learn, and then create their own sentences based on the teacher’s model.

Feedback and Support: After completing two lessons per week, students submit their writing for personalized feedback via video, offering encouragement and suggestions for improvement.

Independent Creativity: In addition to following along with Jack and the Beanstalk, students will apply learned techniques to write an independent fairy tale.

Additional Resources
Each lesson includes printable materials to support both the guided writing exercises and independent story creation. Our setup ensures that students can fully participate in the lesson, regardless of its pre-recorded format.
