Description
Using the 5-paragraph essay format students explore different types of essays commonly written by this grade level. Students will practice the core components of writing an essay, and complete two essays (one opinion essay and one literary essay). Previous experience with writing a narrative essay is required.
This course is designed to develop the ability to express an opinion with clear supporting reasons and to build critical thinking skills. Students begin to move away from first person focused writing and start to apply their experience to world views.
Prerequisites:
– Previous essay writing experience is required.
– Basic computer literacy (ability to copy links in chat and paste them into a web browser, ability to minimize zoom if needed, ability to type in Google Docs)
– Some knowledge of grammar is helpful even if the student is unclear about the difference between a noun and a verb.
– Typing skills- Students will complete all assignments by typing. They do not have to type with two hands but should be comfortable working writing without using paper. If your child need typing support, please check out our Life Skills Typing Course.*
