Brave Writer Concepts Read Comp/Writing
Each class includes a short book read or activity and comprehension discussion led by the teacher followed by a writing assignment. Understanding and knowing how to read is so valuable in learning how to become a writer. Our younger students will be mostly focused on sentence structure and beginning paragraphs. Those who are ready to begin essays they will be assigned one essay to be worked on throughout the semester. Older students (typically 5th/6th and above) will be assigned an essay based on their proven abilities shown in class (2-3 essays/projects in the semester). All students are strongly encouraged by the end of semester to present their essay paper of choice to the class.
We use the Brave Writer concept however, it is not a requirement for students to be using Brave Writer at home. Our goal is to get students to gain more interest and excitement while learning how to build sentences to paragraphs to essays! Getting over the anxiety of putting thoughts into a well written paper can be a difficult task. We use the Brave Writer approach because being patient and taking steps is so important when it comes to the writing process. Each child is on their own individual journey of writing. We will begin our class in the partnership writing phase and ease into the ownership phase. Some may not be ready for the next phase and that’s okay! Students can be in various stages in this class and still enjoy learning together. Those who can do more will do more with gentle guidance and by gaining confidence. They will realize they can successfully write all on their own and actually enjoy it too!
Everyone can be a writer! I look forward to meeting and working with your student to find joy in the writing process.

We’ll explore major events, key figures, and big ideas that shaped early America—using lyrics from the musical, primary sources, and hands-on activities to deepen understanding (and maybe even spark some debate).
We’ll also examine where Hamilton sticks to the facts—and where it takes artistic license—to better understand how history gets told and retold.
