Basic Paragraphs
Students will meet 2 times each week during this 5 week course. Students will learn the basic elements needed when developing paragraphs. Lessons are based on the Paragraphology (TM) curriculum, a multisensory, scaffolded approach to written language. Additional writing supports rooted in Self-Regulated Strategy Development are woven throughout lessons to build the student's ability to revise and edit their own work.
Advanced paragraphs
Students build on the Paragraphology (TM) structured approach to written language that was introduced in the Basic Paragraphs class.. New skills include expanded paragraph writing and writing for different purposes. Self-Regulated Strategy Development elements continue to focus on building a student's ability to edit and revise their work to produce a more accurate final draft.
Essay Development
Once a student has mastered the Paragraphology (TM) process for developing paragraphs, he or she may enter this class which teaches students to use the approach when tackling lengthier and more complex writing assignments. Self Regulated Strategy Development principles continue to be reinforced, promoting independence in a student's ability to monitor, edit, and revise their work.
