Here is what one Outschool parent as to say about this class:
💬"This is fast results class. My learner has always struggled with 'writer's block'. Her Year 5 essays never exceeded a half page in length and essays given as homework always end in tears. Within the first month of taking this class her writing has dramatically improved both in quality and quantity. She is confident and more concise in essay planning. Her sentences no longer contain descriptors like good and nice, and her previous 2 sentence paragraphs are now effortlessly written with 4-5 sentences.  This is a well paced class. Each style of writing is broken down step by step.  The teaching is both effective and encouraging."


Two elements of this class that make it successful and produce results with writers:
-We look at "mentor texts," or published models, of each type of writing to see how our completed writing should look.
-We apply what we learn in the lesson to craft our own piece of writing and receive personalized feedback (during or after class) 


Each lesson includes:
-a mini-lesson/instruction
-studying and analyzing a model of that type of writing
-crafting our written piece
-feedback is given (during or after the class)

*Leaves of Learning Academy is an organization on Outschool with about 18 teachers. Occasionally, the teacher for this class may not be able to teach and a substitute teacher from the organization will take her place. Only teachers trained to teach this class will serve as a possible substitute for the class. A message will be posted in the Outschool classroom before the class takes place in the event a substitute will be teaching. I am happy to offer a refund to any learner who prefers not to attend the class with a substitute. Please send a message through Outschool in that event and I will issue a refund. Thank you!
