This class will train learners how to imagine, plan, write, and revise a clear, strong, paragraphs across four modes: expository, argumentative, persuasive, and narrative. 

Each class will start with a prompt of the day followed by a mini-lecture about paragraph structure for the day's mode.  

We will use a graphic organizer that will scaffold the outlining process.  Learners will draw this graphic organizer on a piece of paper so they can reproduce it on demand.

Each class, learners will outline, draft, and revise one paragraph while getting feedback from the teacher.
