Are you a parent looking to boost your child's writing skills to help them succeed in English Language Arts? Whether your learner is homeschooled or in a traditional school setting, this engaging ELA class is perfect for enhancing their writing abilities! 

In this short-term class, students will write a 5-paragraph essay and receive feedback from a licensed ELA teacher.



What Do Students Learn? 

To begin, students will learn about the writing process. Writing actually involves a lot of thinking. It is difficult to write something that is easy to read. We will go over this process together. Students will practice using the writing process throughout this course. 

Students will focus on the basics of paragraph structure for paragraphs throughout the course. We will learn about the structure, how to plan, draft, and edit/revise body paragraphs, introductions, and conclusions for a 5-paragraph essay.  

To get the most out of the class, complete the optional 5-paragraph essay assignment after the class concludes. Submit it to me to get feedback. Allow me up to a 1 week to provide feedback. Reach out if there is a delay or have any questions about the feedback you get. 

The objective is for students to learn: 
- the steps of the writing process 
- understand and can explain the structure of a basic paragraph
- understand and can explain the structure of introductions and conclusions
- how to revise and edit their own writing

Why is Writing Important?

The goal of this ELA writing class is to help students become confident, skilled writers who can put their ideas on paper in a way that makes sense to readers. Writing is a valuable skill that is used across a variety of subjects from English Language Arts and social studies to science, psychology, and health. 

Becoming a confident writer early on is helpful for middle school and high school writing. It is also beneficial in colleges, university, entrepreneurs, leaders, and careers.

No matter what your learner is interested in pursuing in the future, writing is a skill that will help your learner succeed. People who can clearly communicate their ideas through writing have a lot to gain.
