Reluctant Writers With Ms. Carabetta (Middle School)

Marie Carabetta

Average rating:4.0Number of reviews:(1)

Do you have a student that loves to write but sometimes suffers from writers block? Or is your student a reluctant writer that dreads a prompt and a time limit? This class is designed to help students get started when they need to write.

Class Experience

This course is designed to be taken once or multiple times. 

The goal is to create a writing process that can be applied to any writing task.   The tricks taught in the one time class can be replicated without returning from week to week.  

However, a writing community can often provide structure and accountability.  With that in mind, students may register as many times as they find it useful.  The process will remain the same but the art projects and the prompts will change every week....

This class is taught in English.

Students will create a writing process to help improve writers block.

I am a licensed Elementary Teacher and Secondary Social Studies teacher.  I have spent years helping students write from different interest levels.   I am also an aspiring short story writer and I have taken classes in adult creative writing classes.  Many of the exercises are from these classes.

Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered

Plain paper, art supplies, a notebook if students prefer to write by hand.  Art supplies can include crayons, markers or colored pencils.  Student may also want to use paint.  It is their choice but they need art supplies that give choices of colors.

Students will never be asked to share their consciousness writing.  Should the content be concerning, I, nor any of the students, will have read or know what the student has written. 

Students will, however, be allowed to share their response to the prompts. 

Also, I would like to make it clear that I as a licensed teacher with the State of Colorado, I am a mandated reporter.
