Hello everyone!
I wanted to send out my workshops for the end of May earlier rather than later so that way you all can start thinking about it and have the dates. I will also be offering online writing tutoring this semester and in the Fall. If you would like more information on tutoring and what that looks like, please let me know by sending me an email. If you are signing up with your charter, please sign up with Yeager Educational Services.
I also wanted to see if there was any interest in my Creative Writing Workshop. If I get five or more students interested in that workshop, then I will offer it at the end of May the same week as the other ones from 2:30-4pm.
Please send me an email with any questions you might have.
Thank you,
Hannah Yeager
Writing Workshop 101
Workshop Overview:
Each day will consist of a class time of 2 hours so that each student will get an hour to learn how to affectively approach each focus essay (Basic five paragraph essay, Comparison, Persuasive, Argumentative, and Research essays), and then one hour to outline and prep for that night’s essay.
Each day will be outlined as previously stated along with time at the beginning of each class for essay review. Essay review is in place so that each student can grow from their mistakes, their peer’s mistakes, and even what they have each done exceptionally well. We will all go over anonymously the things that I thought we need to go over again and the things that everyone did very well. I will also have detailed notes on each student’s graded paper.

Each day will consist of a different kind of genre, outlining technique, or story format.
There are many different ways to set up a fictional story, whether that be narrative, fragmented, a screenplay, or through chapters, like a novela. I will be approaching each of these different writing styles throughout the week.
On the first day, after a general overview, the students will choose a type of story that they want to write and work on that week. I will then go over different practices, tips and tricks for each style while also working on the stories that each student chose in order to get them from an outline, to a well-crafted story.
