🌟 Welcome to English Language Arts: Paragraph Power! 🌟 This relaxed, ongoing writing class teaches paragraph writing skills. Each class session will introduce a different type of paragraph, including: 📢 Persuasive paragraphs 🎨 Descriptive paragraphs 📖 Narrative paragraphs 🛠️ Procedural paragraphs You are welcome to join the class at any time, and each week stands independently without building on the previous one. This class works great for homeschoolers or as a supplement for public school learners! During each session, we'll start with discussions and brainstorming. Then, we'll work on crafting topic sentences and supporting sentences, followed by closing sentences to wrap up our paragraphs. When time permits, we'll also practice editing and proofreading. Don't worry if you're new to paragraph writing – no prior experience is necessary! The class will involve short work periods, followed by sharing and instruction. Questions and discussions are always welcome! While participation is encouraged, sharing ideas and writing with the class is entirely optional. Let's write together and have fun! 🚀 Our Learning Plan: 🌟Fall Session: Narrative writing- Week of September 9 Opinion writing- Week of September 16 Descriptive writing- Week of September 23 Procedural writing- Week of September 30 Narrative writing- Week of October 7 Opinion writing- Week of October 14 Descriptive writing- Week of October 21 Procedural writing- Week of October 28 Narrative writing- Week of November 4 Opinion writing- Week of November 11 Descriptive writing- Week of November 18 Procedural writing- Week of November 25 Narrative writing- Week of December 2 Opinion writing- Week of December 9 Descriptive writing- Week of December 16 🌟Winter/Spring Session: Opinion Writing- Week of January 15 Descriptive Writing- Week of January 22 Narrative Writing- Week of January 29 Opinion Writing- Week of February 5 Opinion Writing- Week of February 12 Procedural Writing- Week of February 19 Descriptive Writing- Week of February 26 Narrative Writing- Week of March 4 Procedural Writing- Week of March 11 Opinion Writing- Week of March 18 Descriptive Writing- Week of March 25 Narrative Writing- Week of April 2 Opinion Writing- Week of April 8 Narrative Writing- Week of April 15 Descriptive Writing- Week of April 22 Procedural Writing- Week of April 29 Opinion Writing- Week of May 6 Narrative Writing- Week of May 13 Procedural Paragraph Writing- Week of May 20 Descriptive Writing- Week of May 27 Opinion Writing- Week of June 3 Narrative Writing- Week of June 10 Descriptive Writing- Week of June 17 Narrative writing- Week of June 24 **Please feel free to join at any time.** Please note that some of the paragraphs in this class are also covered in our Second Grade ELA, and Third/Fourth Grade ELA classes. 🌟 This is an inclusive class and all learners are welcome. 🌟 Please let us know if you have any questions about this class.
