Each week the student will be given a writing prompt to respond to, and will be asked to use the strategies and skills from class to write a paragraph.  I will grade the writing, provide detailed feedback, and then cater the next class to the needs that are seen from the graded paragraph.

I will provide weekly feedback to the parent and student using a rubric to score the student's writing.  I will also provide feedback to the parent via the class messaging platform.  

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
