US Grade 2 - 3
In our 4 week long class, each week will be dedicated to one writing style. Learners will have the opportunity to explore their creativity as they work to strengthen their writing skills. We will be using fun summertime themes throughout our writing, to make our summer camp even more enjoyable! It is so important to view learning as a fun and exciting activity, and that is exactly what our goal will be through these 4 weeks! Looking forward to meeting your learner soon!
Learning Goals
Students will grow as writers in the four main writing styles, narrative, expository, informative and opinion. Students will focus on writing structure and adding details to writing, along with sensory details to improve student creativity and descriptive word usage. Our goal is to gain confidence and learn to love writing!
