Class Experience

Students will learn the elements of a strong paragraph, including topic sentence, supporting details, and clincher. Students will learn cohesion and main idea. This structure will apply to many different genres of writing. We will look at several example paragraphs, write a paragraph as a class, and then write one individually.

Class will begin with teacher instruction on the elements of a paragraph. Students will then read several example paragraphs and identify the parts. As a class, we will collaborative construct a paragraph about a topic chosen by the class.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the basic format of strong paragraph writing: topic sentence, supporting details, and clincher.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Indiana Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education
Hello! My name is Mrs. Henry, and I am a licensed secondary English teacher. I have taught 7-12 grade in a traditional classroom setting for the past 9 years. My repertoire of taught classes includes 7th-8th grade Language Arts, Accelerated Language Arts, 9th grade English, and high school creative writing (the curriculum for this class I designed myself!). I have also led a creative writing club as well as a writing lab.

Creative writing and British Literature are subjects I am most passionate about, but I'm in this field because I love all aspects of it: grammar, formal writing, literature, creative writing, and informational text. I would love to teach you about poetry, help you fine tune a story you're working on, lead you through the process of a research paper, deepen your understanding of grammar and semantics, or discuss the fine details of your favorite book. I love helping students through any part of the writing process as well as the rich discussions that come from digging in deep to a story or text.
