This class is for students who are going to enter the 7th or 8th grade in the coming Fall term. The class will introduce writing skills they will learn in Writing Level 7/8 and get them ready for the new school year in middle school.
Our "skill-based" program helps students focus on specific writing skills in each class, so students gain mastery skill by skill. They become confident, competent writers. Each term we practice many genres of writing. Each genre builds different skills such as building attention to word choice with poetry and attention to descriptive details with science writing.
Meanwhile "guided" writing is highly supported, and enables students to produce complete writing that is well-structured.
We will offer students to build stronger grammar skills the Editor In Chief Level 2 from the Creative Thinking Co. if students haven't done that program before. The books for the class will be posted to the class page before the term starts.
