Welcome! In this course students will learn and practice paragraph writing to structure an essay.

This class is best for advanced beginners - intermediate writers who need help sticking to main points while writing a paragraph. 

Students should know how to write a complete sentence with the appropriate conventions of capitalization, proper punctuation, etc. All students will be guided and encouraged based on their personal writing ability. 

Learners will receive support through visual aids and examples to help them understand different paragraph types, including academic vocabulary such as topic sentence and thesis statement. They will also be given teacher support for spelling/grammar checks through the Zoom chat box and whiteboard features. 

The overall target goal for your learner is to guide them to confidently write for an extended period of time. New content will be taught each week. Previous attendees will be reminded of the content already taught and provided with help to independently write. Newcomers will be supported with teacher examples and regularly receive attention to ensure understanding and comfort. 

This course is taught to accommodate all learners in a fun and encouraging environment. 

Please ensure your learner has a lined notebook for this class and bring the same notebook for each class.  Please feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you! 

Different paragraph types that will be discussed: Compare Paragraphs, Contrast Paragraphs, Opinion Paragraphs, Main Idea Paragraphs, Cause/Effect Paragraphs, Sequence of Events Paragraphs, How-to Paragraphs
