The course begins with an 8-week review of sentence and paragraph writing before introducing students to the kind of multi-paragraph, multi-draft assignments that characterize most of our courses. This is both to give students confidence and to avoid alienating students who would be in need of a refresher. The course is designed with the average 5th or 6th grader in mind but is also appropriate for older students in need of a review of writing fundamentals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCOURSE OBJECTIVES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStudents who complete this writing course will be able to…\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecompose complete sentences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecreate logically organized paragraphs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewrite for a variety of purposes, including narration, description, exposition, and persuasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003erespond to coach feedback on their writing through revising and proofreading.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003edemonstrate a grasp of basic writing concepts such as unity, conciseness, and clarity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eengage the writing process by employing the following five steps in composing every paper: prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading, publishing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003edemonstrate comprehension of basic usage and mechanics rules in their writing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003edemonstrate proficiency at writing under time constraints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli aria-level=\"1\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eimprove their writing across a wide range of broad evaluative areas, including content, style, and form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WriteAtHome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45320261435701,"sku":"SQ6100200","price":579.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4462\/8277\/files\/MiddleSchoolWriting1_Annual.png?v=1706817223"},{"product_id":"middle-school-2-annual-fabnr","title":"Middle School Writing 2, Annual","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis thirty-two-week writing class gives middle school students an opportunity to write across the spectrum of forms and purposes while reviewing some basic grammar and usage issues related to writing.
