Starting January 2009
NEW! Introduction to Writing Basics for Grades 7-10
Introduction to Writing Basics is a one semester course that will offer a gentle introduction to the basics of solid writing skills for students in grades 7 and up. The course will cover basic sentence and paragraph skills, drafting and revising skills, and fundamental punctuation and grammar knowledge using principles from Writing Foundations and the Institute for Excellence in Writing. Weekly assignments will draw from simple factual sources for the first 6 weeks and a number of Aesop’s fables for the remainder of the semester. Students will have time to complete their outlines and drafts in class, so homework will be limited to polishing the work on computer. The class will also use interactive games and activities to reinforce the skills and techniques presented. There will be no journals, quizzes, essays, or portfolio projects in this preliminary class. Introduction to Writing Basics will give students the basic writing skills that they need for future writing courses such as Writing Foundations I or other composition classes.
