From Paragraphs to Essays: Expanding Strong Writing Foundations
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 10 - 13
In this engaging class, students will embark on a transformative journey from crafting strong paragraphs to composing well-structured three-paragraph essays. Through interactive lessons and hands-on activities, learners will explore the essential elements of essay writing, including thesis statements, topic sentences, supporting details, and effective conclusions. Students will participate in peer reviews and workshops that foster collaboration and constructive feedback, enabling them to refine their writing skills. The goal, by the end of the course, is to have each student able to confidently articulate their ideas in a cohesive essay format, setting a solid foundation for future writing endeavors. Students need to already know how to form a strong paragraph and be ready or almost ready for essay writing. There will be homework and access to a computer and Google account at home will be necessary. Students will have the use of computers/Chromebooks in class. ELA 2 prior to or with this class would be beneficial to the students and is strongly encouraged.
Readers Theater
with Melissa Platero
Ages: 7 - 10
In this class, students will read through and act out scripts. All of the same acting and characterization skills students would use for other theatre classes will still be required in this one. In using this strategy, students do not need to memorize their part. They need only to reread it several times and familiarize themselves with it, thus developing their fluency skills.

Cryptid Quest (Young Explorers)
with Sarah Akers
Ages: 8 - 11
Cryptids are more than just spooky stories! They can help tell about the geography, history, and folklore of the southeastern United States. In this class, we’ll journey through swamps, mountains, coasts, and the deep, dark backwoods as we investigate the region’s legendary cryptids. Each week will take us to a new state, uncovering local legends and sneakily learning about the physical geography and cultural history that formed these tales. Whether you’re a fan of (age-appropriately creepy!) monsters, mysteries, or maps, this class will provide a new way to learn about the southeast.
