Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this class, students will build excellent persuasive writing ability. Students will learn how to articulate their thoughts and ideas and construct and present effective arguments. They will write and refine two well-constructed persuasive pieces (essays), using different essay formats. I will be providing thorough 1-on-1 feedback and coaching in both writing and presentation. This is a writing intensive class

Class 1: Introduction to persuasive techniques including ethos, logos and pathos. How to structure an essay. For this first essay, we will learn and practice a 5 paragraph essay format. Students select topics for their first persuasive essay.

Class 2: Parts of a paragraph and constructing effective paragraphs. How to write a topic sentence, and cite evidence. How to connect your evidence and examples back to your argument. Students work on their essays 1-on-1 with me and independently. 

Class 3: How to write a thesis sentence. We select topics for our second essay. This will be a well-researched evidence-based persuasive piece. 

How to select internet resources and the right keywords in google searches. This is an important skill to learn so that students don’t waste time on the internet ‘browsing’ through irrelevant websites

Class 4: Students work on their essays 1-on-1 with me. Wrap up and writers spotlight (students present their work to classmates).
