Introduction to Paragraph Writing with the Four Square Method Part 1 English

This class is an introduction to paragraph writing using the four square writing method which allows students to use a writing formula to develop quality paragraphs. In our first class students will learn about paragraph structure, by our third meeting we will work on adding more details to our paragraphs, then by week five we will work on adding supports so that by week six students have the tools to write a quality paragraph. Class will be conducted via discussion, modeling, and independent practice. Students should be able to write or type and have a basic understanding of writing complete sentences. Students will be asked to complete a 4 square outline and then write one paragraph independently using that outline each week. This will be critical as students need to practice what they have learned in class. Progress is evaluated through student paragraphs and weekly feedback is provided to each student via the teacher section. Depending on the feedback, revisions and resubmission of paragraphs may be necessary.  
After this class is completed, students can take part 2 where we build onto our paragraph writing skills which can then lead students to taking my beginning essay writing class. So this class can be taken in isolation or as part of a series of writing classes:)
