Elementary Writing: Young Poets Society (Self-paced)
$200 $165
Does your child love writing, and wants to learn new and interesting forms of poetry to help their skills grow? Join us for a fun, uplifting, and engaging class where we will help each other grow as writers!
In each lesson, students will learn a new form of poetry, see examples of it in action, and write their own poems.
This class breaks down poetry into easy-to-understand forms, making it possible for even beginners to succeed in their poetry journeys.
Each class begins with a short video lesson from Mrs. Zerr, and will come with a fill-in-the-blank style Google Slides digital handout to help young writers organize their thoughts for each poem style, and continue practicing their writing on their own. Students will choose their favorite poem of that style to share each week. Mrs. Zerr will give feedback on every student’s work, encouraging their efforts and helping to strengthen their writing.
Students will add their favorite poems that they created in each style into a provided digital portfolio that will be shared and reviewed by Mrs. Zerr at the end of the course.
Throughout the first installment of The Young Poets Society self-paced class, we will study 14 different poetry forms, including the styles below. The final lesson will be a portfolio celebration and review. This class will fulfill half of an writing credit.

Elementary Writing: Young Poets’ Society vs. Junior High Writing: Young Poets’ Society:
Though the same poetry forms are covered with the same video lessons, worksheets, and portfolios, additional constructive feedback and more rigorous grading will be provided to challenge the junior high-level students.
My teaching philosophy at the elementary level is to light the fire of education through encouragement, excitement, and gentle corrections on major points. I believe over criticizing young learners can be detrimental to their love of learning, as they don’t always have the foundation to fall back on for their confidence levels.
Junior high students, however, are usually ready for a gentle challenge to help them push themselves to see what they are capable of.
If you have any special notes you would like to share with me about your student prior to class, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I will do all I can to help accommodate your child’s needs to help them succeed.
Coming Fall 2021:
Next fall, I will release a follow-up class covering an additional 14 poem forms with a second poetry portfolio. These two classes would cover a full year of writing credits for elementary students.
