The class will begin with foundational lessons on organizing ideas and using linking words. Students will then progress to practicing different types of introductions and conclusions through guided exercises and writing prompts. The focus will shift to developing arguments by stating opinions clearly, supporting them with evidence, and addressing counterarguments. Finally, students will learn to enrich their writing with descriptive details, focusing on sensory language and figurative expressions.

My teaching method will involve a combination of direct instruction, collaborative activities, and individual writing exercises. I will provide clear explanations and examples of each writing skill, followed by guided practice where students apply what they've learned. I will also provide constructive feedback will help students refine their writing further.

My teaching style emphasizes engagement and active participation. I encourage students to express their ideas freely and ask questions to deepen their understanding. Lessons are designed to be interactive, incorporating discussions, group work, and hands-on activities. 

Students will have many opportunities to interact with me through class discussions, small group activities, and one-on-one feedback sessions. I foster an environment where students feel comfortable sharing their writing and receiving constructive criticism. This interaction promotes growth in their writing skills and confidence in expressing their thoughts effectively.
