These online creative writing courses are for small groups of children (max eleven). The same children will attend every week for a full term. Each class lasts for forty-five minutes.
- Class will be made up of group discussion, feedback on writing and presentation of new material.
- Children will spend time writing individually and working in small groups in break out rooms.
- Students will be encouraged to write for fifteen - twenty minutes outside of class time each week.
- They will be given the option to read their work aloud during class time and receive feedback OR to post their assignment to a private class page on Schoology.
- At least every second week, students will receive verbal feedback on their writing from the teacher. All feedback will be constructive and encouraging. Students will also be encouraged to give positive feedback on one another’s writing.
