This is a Flex class. We will be going over each step of the writing process. By the end of class your child will be an expert in Opinion writing. Your children will be editing and working on their Opinion writing for 8 weeks as we go through each step carefully.  Afterwards your children will be able to write an Opinion Paper within a week's  time and then in a day's time. I will be posting everyday at 10am EST time USA. The curriculum is as follows : we will watch a video for each learning session. We will then take notes in our interactive notebooks. We will also have practice sheets. I will provide feedback after each assignment.
