Beginner Level
In this course, students will practice their writing skills. This is an beginners class and we will go over subject, predicate, parts of speech, different types of sentences, and at the end, students will write a short essay. My goal is to create a meaningful class where students grow in experience and confidence. I hope that students feel comfortable asking questions, and are encouraged in their writing. This will assist students in improving their writing fluency; granting them a better overall composition and the ability to move through a paper smoothly. Writing can seem overwhelming. By breaking down the writing process, using some simple tools and outlines, students will find success! Students will have opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback. This class will use a combination of lecture, PowerPoint, and handouts to assist students with learning.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of a sentence structure including capitalization, punctuation, parts of speech, grammar.
