Beginner Level
Paragraphs are the building block of quality writing. Before students can tackle longer writing assignments, it is crucial to master the paragraph. This class will walk learners through writing a basic paragraph together, focusing on the writing process and elements of a paragraph. We will begin with brainstorming and organizing a paragraph with a bubble (or mind) map, and cover topic sentences, supporting details, and closing sentences. Students will select a topic and we will write a paragraph together during this class, modeling the writing process for composing paragraphs. Students do not need any previous knowledge for this class. This is an excellent class for reluctant or struggling writers, or writers who need a refresher course in writing well-structured paragraphs. This content is also covered in a weekly class where students can start and stop at any time.
