Each week, the class will focus on a specific style of writing that will be introduced to learners.  During the first class of the week, learners will practice using a key word outline to jot down writing ideas and create a roadmap for what they will write.  This is working on the STRUCTURE of writing, or the foundation for what learners will write.  The second class of the week will focus on the STYLE of writing and will include dress ups such as strong verbs, ly adverbs, quality adjective, and more as well as and sentence starters that learners can use to add interest to their writing and vary sentence structures.  Also included weekly are vocabulary to words to practice and use within the writing to strengthen vocabulary skills and increase known words.  At the end of the week, learners will use our keyword outline produced in class and skills taught to be able to write their own paragraphs for homework (in class if time allows).
