US Grade 3 - 6
This English Language Arts class is an opportunity for young people to practise their writing with close guidance and feedback, from understanding and enhancing knowledge of good sentence structure, to formulating their ideas in various essay formats. Every class will be learner-directed, so students can bring in their own materials for us to workshop with their peers as a group. In each meeting, activities will be provided based on learner need that week, from grammar activities to writing prompts, and even mini-speeches. This term will be dedicated to developing the elements of a story, week by week. We will discuss what to consider week by week and then practise with our own stories.
Learning Goals
To improve a learner's confidence in their writing ability and in their communication skills.
