Course Description: In this fun year-long elective course for 6th-8th grade, we will dive into the writing process: Prewriting, Draft, Revise, Edit, Final/Publish. Students will explore essays such as Narrative, Expository, Persuasive, Descriptive Personal Letters, Compare/Contrast, writing a summary, writing a book review, business letter, poetry, and more. We will write an Argumentative Essay, learning how to research a topic to persuade the reader to agree with their view. Writing Workshop students will also write a Story Narrative, which is a story imagined by the author. We will take time to learn how to properly cite sources, in-text as well as a Works Cited/Bibliography page. Upon entering this class, students should know how to write a paragraph.
