Lesson 1:
What is the best snack?
 Students will first watch an introduction video to get a feel for what we will be doing in this class. Then, they will get to answer a fun question! Finally, students will be provided a writing template and led step-by-step through writing about their favorite snack. And as always, there will be a mystery picture slowly revealed throughout the lessons. 
Lesson 2:
What is the best pet?
 Students receive a PDF worksheet and follow the same steps as in week one. Students will continue to be led step by step through these steps: deciding a topic, writing reasons with supporting details, counter-argument comparison sentences, a conclusion, and a title. 
Lesson 3:
What is the best treat?
 Students receive a PDF worksheet and follow the same steps as in week one and two. The lessons, details, examples, and ideas are all specific to the topic: What is the best treat? 
Lesson 4:
What is the best game?
 Students receive a PDF worksheet and follow the same steps as in week one through three. The lessons, details, examples, and ideas are all specific to the topic: What is the best game?
