Week 1
Lesson 1
Subjects & predicates
We'll cover subjects, predicates, and the idea that a sentence has to make sense (although we might have a sentence about an old brown cow rowing a boat, so "make sense" doesn't mean we won't have fun!). 
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Conjunctions
We've covered how to write a complete sentence. But what about writing longer sentences? We'll work on using conjunctions to join thoughts... and then we'll examine how to correct sentences that are just way too long by identifying run-on sentences and devising strategies to fix them. 
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Adjectives, adverbs, and dependent clauses
Now that we know how to write grammatically correct sentences, we need to transform these "stick-figure sentences" into "painting sentences"! We'll add adjectives, adverbs, and dependent clauses to fashion some truly superb sentences.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Descriptive writing
Now that we've learned the steps to writing strong sentences, we'll add to that knowledge by focusing on how to write descriptively. An apple isn't just red: it's juicy, crunchy, sweet, and possibly wormy. Using pictures, we will start with basic sentences and build them up to dazzling descriptions that are full of sensory details.
