Students will work on expanding on their paragraph writing skills by working on elaborating on their writing. Students will need to have taken part one of this class or know how to use the 4 square writing method as we will continue to use this method. Our goal will be to write solid 8 sentence paragraphs. Each week we will also do a mini lesson related to paragraph writing with an emphasis on elaboration. Class is held via modeling, guided practice, and independent practice. Students will be asked to write one 8 sentence paragraph on their own for homework each week.
