Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
Great writing requires students to have a solid foundation for writing. This class teaches students how to construct different types of writing from the ground up. 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. 

The instructor will send progress reports on Fridays if work has been completed.
