Starting with parts of speech and sentence structure, students refresh their knowledge of these basic elements before diving into short responses, narratives and essay writing. The class ends with a research paper and digital presentation, providing students with step-by-step instructions. The lessons include videos, guided notes, Blooket, online games, and practice activities. Throughout the course students will submit writing assignments for teacher feedback.
