Students will work on expanding on their paragraph writing skills by using what they have learned in part 1 and 2. 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. Each week we will read a short story and practice responding to the story in paragraph form. Students will then read a story of their own and respond to the story by writing a paragraph about what they have read. Our goal will be to write solid 8 sentence paragraphs. 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. The teacher will provide the readings students will respond to as well as guiding questions to help with their responses. Feedback will be provided weekly in the teacher section and revisions may be necessary. We will cover a different subject each week.
