We will be learning about sentence structure and how to write great sentences full of details. We will then transition to writing great paragraphs, learning about introduction and concluding sentences. Throughout the time we will focus on 2 types of writing, personal narrative and opinion. We will also spend some time on writing a detailed multi-paragraph essay response to a question about a passage that is read. This is a very important skill starting in 3rd grade!
