Does your student struggle with writing a paragraph? Let me help them build their confidence in this writing class where I can guide them on brainstorming and writing a well, thought-out paragraph. The students will learn how to write a 3-5 sentence paragraph on a given topic. Each week we will have a new topic to keep the interest up in the class. This is a guided writing class. I will be modeling how to write a paragraph. Feel free to pause the video as we go when the student feels confident to write their sentence on their own, if they would like. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns before class.
