US Grade 7 - 12
This class is designed to help the student improve writing confidence and ability - no matter the student's current level. We will begin with a discussion of the three main types of writing (persuasive, expository, and narrative) along with a brief survey of rhetorical strategies (analyzing cause and effect, comparing and contrasting, describing/defining, as well as logos/ethos/pathos/kairos). Next, we will review a broad outline of the writing process: 1. Brainstorming/prewriting 2. Outlining 3. Drafting 4. Revising 5. Proofreading/editing We will review scoring rubrics and how to maximize performance on each domain. Throughout the course, students will be presented with writing prompts and asked to produce material that focuses on one aspect of the writing process. For example, creating an outline based on a provided set of data in order to practice organization and planning.
Learning Goals
Students will understand the basic types of written expression (persuasive, expository, and narrative).
Students will learn about and demonstrate understanding of rhetorical strategies.
Students will demonstrate understanding of, and proficiency in, each step of the writing process.
Students will produce writing samples regularly to practice skills.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students may be exposed to potentially challenging content as we work through the writing process. For example, we may study a persuasive essay that discusses a controversial topic such as capital punishment or civil rights.
Supply List
Instructor will supply all materials. Students will use computer function/memory to attend classes and complete written assignments. (Students may also use self-supplied pen/pencil and paper to complete some work, if they so choose.)
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
In addition to utilizing assorted writing samples, rubrics, and organizers, the course will use as its main resource the book The Simple Guide to The Writing Process by Patricia Martin.
