1 hour per week. Each week, students will receive a writing prompt to practice the specific skill they’ve learned in the lesson. These prompts are designed to reinforce the weekly goal, allowing students to apply new concepts in their writing. However, students are also encouraged to write about topics that interest them. This gives them the freedom to explore their creativity while practicing the skills they’ve learned. Students can share a picture of their writing with the teacher. I will then provide personalized video feedback, focusing on the goal for that week. This feedback will help students understand their strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring they continue to grow as confident writers.Assessment
