Paragraph Practice: Write, Edit, and Read a Fun Paragraph Every Week!

𝗔 𝗳𝘂𝗻, 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀!

Each week, we'll start by reviewing the steps to writing a basic paragraph-- the topic sentence, details, and closing sentence. We'll read an example together, and then I'll provide a topic for the students to write about-- like what sort of pet they'd like to have, what they would do if they went to the moon, the strangest animal they can think of, or perhaps how to score in a sport they play. Students will then take approximately 10 minutes to write their own paragraphs. When we're done, they're invited to read them aloud to the group!

This class is an excellent way for students to practice writing in a low-stakes environment, build confidence, and expand their knowledge. Students should arrive in class with writing implements-- paper and a pencil or similar!-- ready to go so that we can get the most out of our time together. 

Example writing prompts:
-Write about a family member.
-Write about a trip or vacation you've been on.
-Write about a holiday you enjoy.
-Write about your pet-- or a pet you'd like to have.

Students should be able to write independently before taking this class. Additionally, while it’s always a good idea to try to spell things correctly, we are focused on sentence and paragraph instruction rather than spelling!
