During this 5 week course, students will be given the strategies for writing a complete and powerful paragraph. During each session, students will engage with brief instruction followed by writing exercises to complete independently and alongside their peers. In the first session, students will be introduced to the format of a powerful paragraph. Next, students will be introduced to the types of paragraphs. Students will be encouraged to pick their writing topic(s) for their paragraphs. Throughout the course, I will provide feedback for every paragraph. The feedback is meant to be applied to their next assignment the following week. The sessions will be divided by the following topics below. Session 1: Powerful Paragraph Introduction, Structure, Toolkit Session 2: Expository Paragraph Session 3: Persuasive Paragraph Session 4: Narrative Paragraph Session 5: Descriptive Paragraph, and course conclusion
