Beginning Writing
Students will learn beginning writing skills including note-making, summarizing, and retelling narrative stories. We will be using the Institute for Excellence in Writing's theme based book Fables, Myths, and Fairy Tales Writing Lessons. This method helps demystify the writing process so that students learn step by step exactly what to write and how to write it.
Homework: Approx. 3 hours per week
