$310
In this engaging class, students will embark on a transformative journey from crafting strong paragraphs to composing well-structured three-paragraph essays. Through interactive lessons and hands-on activities, learners will explore the essential elements of essay writing, including thesis statements, topic sentences, supporting details, and effective conclusions. Students will participate in peer reviews and workshops that foster collaboration and constructive feedback, enabling them to refine their writing skills. The goal, by the end of the course, is to have each student able to confidently articulate their ideas in a cohesive essay format, setting a solid foundation for future writing endeavors. Students need to already know how to form a strong paragraph and be ready or almost ready for essay writing. There will be homework and access to a computer and Google account at home will be necessary. Students will have the use of computers/Chromebooks in class. ELA 2 prior to or with this class would be beneficial to the students and is strongly encouraged.
