What kinds of writing will we do this year?
Structured EssaysThroughout the year, we will be focusing on three structured pieces of writing in a workshop setting. The first part of the year is dedicated to literary essay. Analyzing literature and supporting inferences is a big part of being a literary essayist.
The second piece of writing is a personal narrative. Students are bursting with stories to tell. This will be a fantastic way to express ideas. The final piece will focus on research and informative writing. The topics will be selected by students. Research is a life-long skill that every learner needs to succeed in the future. |
Daily WritingEffective writers write every day. Our class is dedicated to refining the writing craft. Each day, students begin the class with a short writing activity that aligns to the standards and our thematic reading units.
