Join me for a 4-week journey where you'll master the art of expressing your thoughts in style! 🚀 In this course, we'll dive into the world of opinion writing. Each week, we'll gather to explore new techniques and put those into practice. IMPORTANT: This is a self-paced 4-week class. If you're interested in the live version of this class (where we meet at a fixed time once a week), you can find that class under my class listings "Essay Mastery: Unleash Your Voice and Write Impressive Essays (Live Class)".

Week 3 is all about avoiding plagiarism. I'll teach you how to gather evidence like a detective, sprinkle in some quotes, and give credit where credit's due. No plagiarism villains allowed! Finally, in Week 4, get ready to conquer the structure of an opinion essay. I'll guide you through crafting strong introductions, powerful bodies, and satisfying conclusions. Plus, we'll sprinkle in some ninja-level tips to avoid common writing pitfalls. But wait, there's more! 🎉 During our last class (Week 4), you'll receive an assignment to apply what you just learned on a real-world topic! You get to write an opinion essay about whether or not you think volcanoes should be considered natural disasters. Dive into research (3 articles provided for you), write your own essay in Google Slides (where each section guides you along the way), and submit your masterpiece within a week. You'll even get a certificate of completion for finishing your paper! This course is perfect for 9-14 year olds eager to learn how to write essays. But if you're younger or older, no worries!
