Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
This class will train learners how to imagine, plan, write, and revise a clear, strong, paragraphs across four modes: expository, argumentative, persuasive, and narrative. 

Each class will start with a prompt of the day followed by a mini-lecture about paragraph structure for the day's mode.  

We will use a graphic organizer that will scaffold the outlining process.  Learners will draw this graphic organizer on a piece of paper so they can reproduce it on demand.

Each class, learners will outline, draft, and revise one paragraph while getting feedback from the teacher.

Week of 20 April: Prompt of the day: "Describe your favorite meal" (Expository)

Week of 27 April: Prompt of the day: "What makes a better pet, a cat or a dog?" (Argumentative)

Week of 4 May: Prompt of the day: "Pizza is better than chocolate" or "Chocolate is better than pizza" (Persuasive)

Week of 11 May: Prompt of the day: "Tell me a story about a time you were afraid" (Narrative)

Learning Goals

Students will learn a research-based and systematic approach to developing their essay writing. Students will be able to confidently write expository, argumentative, persuasive, and narrative paragraphs.
