스타워즈 글쓰기: 스타워즈를 소재로 한 에세이 쓰기!

In this 4 session, 30-40 minute class, children will write a 5-paragraph essay or narrative, depending on the focus of the class session. The focus over the 4 week classes will be writing either a persuasive essay, an expository essay, a compare and contrast essay, or a narrative. 
Topics will vary for each session. Some example topics include, but are not limited to:

Persuasive: Jedi or Sith, which is better?
Expository: Describe one droid in detail.
Compare and Contrast: Pick two creatures from Star Wars and compare and contrast.
Narrative: Fan fiction piece about an adventure with two main characters.

Each class session will begin with a question of the week and a Star Wars joke of the week. Students may share one item from Star Wars at this time.
Then, we will get to work! I will present the topic of each day, and have a presentation with important points for our topic. We will go back and forth from ideas in the presentation to time to write independently. Students can share their writing in class verbally, and hand in an assignment after class.  

It is recommended that students type their assignment. At the end of class, parents have the choice to grade the essay with a provided rubric or hand in the essay or narrative through the classroom. Students may share a google doc through a weblink only (no emails may be shown) in order for me to review writing each week. I will show students how to do this during class. My feedback guidelines are 3-5 positive comments with 1-2 items to improve on or fix. I only focus on 1-2 items to fix, even if there is more to work on.

Students may have to research outside of class time.

This class is an inclusive class and welcomes learners of all abilities, and is inclusive to students with learning disabilities, autism, anxiety, or any other learning differences. It is small group to allow learners of all abilities.
