Writing Skills
8th & Up     11:00-11:55
In this class, students will learn the process of writing. Each of the six weeks
will focus on mastering another step in the writing process.
We will start with Creative Writing to get your child comfortable with putting
their thoughts on paper. I will not count off for spelling errors during this six
weeks, because I want the children to focus on finding their voice. Students
will learn how to write descriptively and clearly.
In the 2nd six weeks, we will learn more of the formal techniques one needs
when writing a formated paper. We will study outlining, note taking,
information gathering, and planning.
During the 3rd six weeks, we will start with our first formal essays. Students
will learn how to write a thesis statement and its purpose. Students will learn
how to write a three paragraph opinion essay and a three paragraph
informative essay using the information they have learned in the two previous
classes.
The 4th and 5th six weeks will focus on the more advanced styles of writing.
First, students will learn how to write five paragraph persuasive and
argumentative papers. For the last six weeks, students will learn how to write
an MLA paper (including quotes and reference).
This is an excellent class for any child who needs to improve their writing
abilities! Each step is broken into manageable 'chunks' of information.
