This class introduces different types of essay using the 5 paragraph essay format. Students will practice the core components of writing an essay, and complete two essays (one opinion essay and one literary essay). Previous experience with writing a narrative essay is required. This course is designed to develop the ability to express an opinion with clear supporting reasons and to build critical thinking skills. Students begin to move away from first person focused writing and start to apply their experience to world views. Each class begins with a free write exercise before going into the focus of the day. The teacher will engage in a discussion with students regarding the components of the specific essay type, then students will use both Google Docs and Nearpod to write their essay. As writing skills improve students may be invited to engage in peer review or observe editing of student essays in class. Links are sent via chat and at times teacher's may use breakout rooms to answer student questions. No printouts are required for class work. Please note: Students must attend at least 50% of the classes in order to continue receiving homework and class feedback. Only watching the class video recording does not substitute for the in class experience. A Flex course is available for those who are unable to attend classes.
