Curso de escritura elemental: desde oraciones simples hasta párrafos formales

 Learners will look at a picture and be guided through writing a simple sentence. The teacher will encourage learners to write a sentence about 4 or 5 words long and use a whiteboard for support.  There will be reminders to use capital letters to begin the sentence and periods to end it. Learners will begin understanding parts of speech by learning and identifying nouns. After each new sentence, learners will be given a break by being able to draw a picture to go with the sentence. 

 During this class, the teacher will begin to encourage learners to try to write without copying and check their work after they write the sentence, thus beginning to learn independent writing. 

 Learners will look at a picture and write a simple sentence. After identifying the noun, learners will be encouraged to add at least one adjective to the sentence. The class will discuss what an adjective is and how to add it to the sentence, writing the longer sentence. Finally, the learners will work on adding a verb or preposition/place. There will be continued encouragement to use CUPS as they work. The teacher will support with the whiteboard. 

 During this class, learners will be prompted to try working independently to write a complex sentence.
