Students then will replicate the structure of their own and we will go over the homework in the next classes. Depending on how fast students can write the essay parts this will mean about 2 to 4 hours of homework a week.Grading

SUMMARY OF THE CLASS In this 3-week, course students will meet 3 times a week to learn the perfect structure for 3 different types of essays. Essay writing is so important for students to master in middle school because essay writing is going to be a major part of their education from here on out. However, so many students struggle with essay writing, and as a parent not only do you not want to see your child struggle, but you also may not feel equipped to teach them yourself because you never learned the structure or English is not your first language. Some of the most popular and useful essays for students to learn a structure for are 📚narrative essays 🖌persuasive essays ❗️opinion essays. In this class, students will see examples of these types of essays, learn the structure, and be able to practice and get feedback on their essays.

I also believe that students need to have a structure to write from to really master the art of essay writing. I also have lots of experience with students with a number of different abilities and neurodiverse students. I have experience with blind students, autistic students, students with ADHD, etc. If your student needs any accommodations to make this class more accessible for them please feel free to reach out and I will make these accommodations to the best of my ability.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to structure 3 popular types of essays. They will learn how to craft their own essays in these structures. They will also write 3 essays which will give them the confidence to be able to write an essay that they come up against.
