Class Title: Foundations of Writing (6th grade)
Grades: 6th
Course Description: This is a course designed for 6th grade students to feel confident in their academic writing assignments. Through the use of Jane Schaffer inspired writing techniques, we will remove the mystery and obscure nature of writing and create confidence through clarity of expectations. Students will know how to receive an academic writing prompt and decipher whether to write a narrative, informative, or argument paper. They will learn the academic outline formula for writing a strong thesis and how to support their thesis with textual evidence.
We will cover cross-curricular writing topics that will reinforce Science and Social Studies topics for 6th grade students in alignment with California State Standards. In addition, students will learn proper MLA format for their writing and be able to transfer those skills to their other course content.
Cost of Class (per semester): $100
