US Grade 5 - 6
In this class, students will write a persuasive essay! This class will meet for two days. On the first day of class, I will introduce the essay topic, and explain the structure of a persuasive essay. Together students will create an outline. Next, students will write an introduction paragraph. They will learn that the introduction includes a preview of all of the main ideas. Students will also write the first body paragraph. On the second day of class, we will write two more body paragraphs as well as write a conclusion paragraph. If students do not finish their assignment during class, they can finish after class and families are welcome to take a photo and send it to me in Outschool messages, or students can enroll in a one day writing class with me to complete the essay. Please note that I do not cancel classes due to low enrollment, so if one student enrolls, class will continue! Class may have one, two, or three students enrolled.

Students will improve their understanding of essay writing.
