Intermediate - Advanced Level
This 45-minute class will meet 4 times total in four weeks to work on using the 5 steps to complete an essay and include some advanced writing techniques. To take this course, learners should already know the 5 step process (preparation, draft, revise, edit, turn in), essay parts (introduction, body, conclusion), and be able to write a basic 5 paragraph essay with little to no guidance. In this course, we will include more advanced skills such as: -academic vocabulary (moving from using words like "good" to "favorable") -using 2 books and 3 online sources **topics will be student choice and sources will have to be approved by the teacher, but the students will have to find their own sources** -writing 3 full typed pages, plus a cover and works cited page -using MLA formatting -using reliable sources -paraphrasing vs quoting, using more paraphrasing and 1 quote with an ellipses We will also work on the grammar point(s) of: -using ellipses -using dashes Learners will be required to include each of these points in their essays. * The first class will review the research essay with a brief description, prepare each learner's brainstorming and outline documents, and go over the requirements of the essay. Learners will decide on a topic and begin working on their outlines. They will finish their outlines and draft their body paragraphs to be prepared for the next class. Whatever is not finished in class should be worked on and completed before the next class. *For the second class, each learner should have at least 3 drafted body paragraphs. The second class will focus on checking in with each learner about their progress, ensuring they include the required elements, and drafting their introduction and conclusion. Whatever is not finished in class should be worked on and completed before the next class. * For the third class, each learner should have a fully drafted essay that they may have revised at least one time. The third class will facilitate peer and teacher review of the drafted essays. Learners will be given rubrics and feedback templates to help them review their peer essays. We will check that the essays include the required elements. Learners will begin working on revising their essays. Whatever is not finished in class should be worked on and completed before the next class. *For the fourth class, each learner should have a fully revised essay. The fourth class will focus on final edits and check to make sure that each requirement has been fulfilled. We will create a final copy to turn in. The students will be welcome to share their essays with the class. Students are welcomed and encouraged to participate in class discussion-style learning and review sessions. They are prompted to ask questions and seek peer and teacher input. Extensive feedback will be offered between classes for all learners who submit their work to the teacher on the Outschool platform. By the end of the course, students will have a final version of an research essay that should include more academic vocabulary, 2 books and 3 reliable online sources, be 3 typed pages long, be in MLA format, and include ellipsis, 1 quote, paraphrasing and 1 dash. Students should have learned the basics of multi paragraph essays before taking this class as we will not focus much on the process and parts in this course.

Learning Goals
* Students will add 2 books and 3 online sources.
*Students will use MLA formating.
*Students will understand and properly use ellipses, paraphrasing, quotations, and dashes.
* Students will gain confidence in their ability to independently write a research essay of their choice through practice and feedback.
