Lengua y literatura inglesas de secundaria: redacción con Minecraft: redacción de ensayos

In this English Language Arts (ELA) Minecraft class, students will learn about an ELA writing skill then produce a paragraph or short story focusing on the daily topic.

Each lesson will cover a different topic in the form of about a 10-15 minute pre-recorded mini-lesson, then learners will apply what they learned by writing a paragraph or more. Each lesson will consist of a different focus and writing prompt(s), including free writes where learners can write about anything Minecraft related as long as the focus/skill is kept in mind. For example, if the topic is planning and prewriting, we will discuss how to break down a prompt, brainstorm, and plan using an outline. Throughout each recording, I will also model how to complete the task and provide examples.

The theme for this class is writing a four to five paragraph essay. That means learners will learn about introductions, body paragraphs, supporting details, and conclusions. Learners will not be required to produce full essays or fully developed short stories, but do have that option, and I encourage it!

Each week, there will be various prompt choices related to Minecraft that will help your learner develop their writing skills. Though writing topics will differ from week to week, learners can also stick with their topic from the first week throughout the entire class, developing a full 4-5 paragraph essay by the end, which I also encourage! :)

More details are provided in the syllabus. Learners will not have any live meetings, and will reference the pre-recorded lecture videos in the classroom. Certificates of completion and grades are available upon request. Feedback is provided at the end of the week, typically Sundays. If work has not been submitted by Sunday, then feedback should be expected by the following Sunday.
