Calling all reluctant writers!! Does the idea of writing strike fear in your heart? Do you freeze when asked to write a poem? Are you afraid to show your finished work to others? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then this is the class for you!! Experienced English teachers use the format created by Newbury author Kwame Alexander to ease learners into writing poetry, and lead them to publishing their collective work by the end of the class. Mr. Alexander's The Write Thing workshop has been used by institutions around the world, and focuses on poetry first because it does not have the same demands as prose, and it offers students the freedom of creativity while instilling confidence. Week 1: Poem in your Pocket, Free Writing Week 2: Preparing to Write - Emotions and Rules Week 3: Writing a Draft - Form, Structure, Words, and a Topic Week 4: Revising and Editing - Purposeful Revision and Excellence Week 5: Publish our Collective Works - Giving Students a Voice Week 6: Presentation - Read it Loud and Proud! The first 4 weeks focus on the writing process. Students will learn how to write, rhyme and structure a poem while learning about different types of poetry. They will also work with partners in class to revise and edit work, thus learning to receive constructive feedback on their work. Week 5 is devoted to publishing. In this case publishing will be to a class specific blog site. Students will work together to develop a title, select the poems, and format. The teacher will set up the private blog and place student work, then provide the completed link to students for them to share their work with family and friends. Student identification of their work will be limited to first name in the blog for safety purposes. The blog will be available to students and their adults, but may be shared with trusted loved ones. Week 6 focuses on the Joy of Writing! Presenting their own work is the purpose of this class. Creating confidence so that students will read their work to classmates during our final week is the ultimate learning goal of this class. This class requires at minimum FOUR learners to run. Any class with fewer than 4 students cannot effectively complete the class objective, and thus will be canceled or postponed. Students should be able to read, write and converse in English, and should be at minimum a 5th grade reading and writing level. Cameras and microphones will be REQUIRED to be turned on because interaction and comradery are crucial to developing trust with one another.

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
Poetry by nature can be personal, thus some students may share personal life experiences through their work in class. Any topics that raise concern about safety will be promptly addressed with a referral to Outschool's Safety and Security Team.
Third party sources will be used for publishing student work. While the teacher and admin will do the uploading, students will need to access the third party site to share their published work with family and friends. We plan to use FREE third party sources which are commonly used in education, but a family, parent or student account may be necessary for full participation in the class.
