***THIS IS A SELF-PACED CLASS- We will not meet live; however, assignments will be reviewed for teacher feedback on Sunday evenings each week for up to 4 weeks.*** 

In this 4-lesson class, learners will go through each step of the writing process for writing a how-to paper catering to their interests (Be You!). 

Each lesson will include a video explaining the lesson that will be completed in Nearpod. In the lesson there will be videos and mini-assignments the learner will complete that will help support the part of the paper they are working on. Learners will complete their assignment with each lesson on a private Google Slide link or submit their handwritten work to receive video feedback each Sunday evening.
