This course is designed for 4th and 5th grade students to learn the basics of opinion writing. The course features video lessons, follow along notes, writing prompts & reference notes. ________________________________________________ This upper elementary writing class is great for homeschooling students or traditional students to use as a supplement for writing! All lessons are pre-recorded and the student is free to work at his or her own pace throughout the entirety of the course. Teacher feedback will be available for 5 weeks. ________________________________________________ The instruction is broken down by the specific pieces of the opinion essay as follows: - Introduction to the genre - Introduction paragraph - Conclusion paragraph - Body paragraphs - Revising & Editing A single essay will be completed following the lessons of the outline above. After that, there are 4 other writing prompts included for students to practice their writing skills. ________________________________________________ Please see the syllabus for topics included in this course. Students may submit any of their assignments and/or assessments for feedback from the teacher. Feedback will be provided within 24 hours of each submission. For submissions, received on the weekends, please allow until the following Monday. ________________________________________________ My goal is to help students MAKE SENSE of what they are learning, and not just memorize content. I believe very strongly in focusing on the "WHY" and "HOW". 📨Please feel free to reach out with questions you may have!
Learning Goals
Students will be introduced to the opinion/persuasive writing genre and will respond to multiple prompts within the genre.
