Write Like A Pro: Mastering the Five Paragraph Essay for High Schoolers

As essays and papers become a bigger part of the English curricula, many students feel lost and frustrated when it comes to producing an organized piece of writing. In this class, you will learn how to take a writing prompt and turn it into an A paper using a common and simple format: the Five...
Students will learn how to: 1. Read a writing prompt, form an opinion, and construct a thesis statement. 2. Construct an organized outline to serve as the roadmap for their paper. 3. Write a rough draft based on their thesis and outline. 4. Spot common errors and edit their rough draft. 5. Write and format a solid final paper with a definite introduction, body, and conclusion.
I have been teaching English and writing to students from middle to graduate school for over 20 years. I've helped students write essays, research papers, SAT essays, college application essays, and even professionally edited PhD dissertations. One of my greatest joys is to break down the (seemingly) daunting task of writing a paper into small, manageable, and easy-to-understand steps. Everyone can write a paper, and it's my job to show you how!

Assignments that are turned in late do NOT receive feedback. (Individual cases of illness, power outages, etc. will be reviewed by the teacher and the due dates will be amended accordingly.)**1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Each week, the student's assignment will be reviewed and edited by the teacher and returned with specific feedback before moving onto the next step of the writing process. At the end of the course, the student's final draft will be graded according to the assigned rubric.Grades Offered
