****This is part two of this course. Students should complete part one before enrolling.

In this beginner writing class, students will write about science-themed topics such as insects, inventions, and famous scientists while they learn to write with Structure and Style.

We will meet twice weekly. On the first day, we will practice structure. On the second day, we will practice style. Students will have homework to turn in.  Students must be able to type or handwrite their assignments and turn them in. 

***Learners will need to be able to complete assigned homework. This will include writing and completing paragraphs that we will discuss in class. At times students will have opportunities to present their stories to the class.  This is not a graded class; however, students will receive feedback on the assignments they turn in and be given points for each assignment.

Learners will need the student book for Wonders of Science Writing Lessons
