Do you want to tackle writing a five paragraph essay? Then this class is for you! Essay writing is made easy and organized in this engaging class. Students will be taught how to write a strong and organized essay based on a given text that will be read in class. This is perfect preparation for standardized testing! Students will learn an intentional approach to essay writing by using an outline to begin each paragraph. Students will learn how to organize thoughts and ideas while using text evidence to justify and support their thinking. I will teach how to find text evidence to use in the essay and how the use of strong transitional words, including word choice, which allow the writing to flow and come together. Students will be able to use this method in any type of essay writing. I will teach this class using Google Slides, modeling the writing, and through discussion. My teaching style is interactive, engaging, and fun. Learners will not only have peer interaction, but one-on-one interaction and feedback with me, serving as the teacher, the writing coach, and facilitator. It is preferred that students use a computer to type the essay. This will allow the student to share their screen in class as needed during the essay writing process. Students should have prior knowledge of sentence writing and paragraph structure. The text and outline will be provided to students after enrollment. I highly encourage your child to enroll in Part 2 of this class. Part 2 is focused on the learner writing more independently. I will facilitate, guide, edit, and give feedback for each student. https://outschool.com/classes/tackle-and-write-a-five-paragraph-essay-an-organized-way-of-writing-7PXE9ZAC#usLdAvCrk2 Class 1- Introduction to essay writing.
