extended session with Teacher Sonia
Available spots
Service Description
Students will be introduced to compound subjects and verbs, direct objects, and dictionary skills. Students will learn the parts of a paragraph including a topic sentence, detail sentences, and a closing sentence. Students will have specific practice with writing each of these parts before writing their own paragraph at the end of class. Students will learn about run-on sentences, using specific words, and homophones. Students will learn how to use a graphic organizer to gather thoughts and write a paragraph on their own. Finally, students will be introduced to using an editing checklist to self-edit their work. Age Suggestion: 8+ Main Course Sequence: follows Let's Write Sentences; precedes Fundamentals 1 No writing sample required for new students. Time Required: Approximately 1.5-2 hours per week. Extended Format: Extended format courses are only available during the summer and are offered with students' busy schedules in mind. Students enrolled in extended format courses will complete the same coursework, and instructors will uphold the same academic rigor--including learning through revision--as our traditional courses; however, students will have 11 weeks to complete coursework rather than the traditional 6 weeks. Students will work with their instructor to set up a personalized schedule for submitting assignments in order to meet the final deadline for the course. Because schedules are so individualized, THERE ARE NO LIVE CLASS MEETINGS IN EXTENDED FORMAT COURSES; instead, teachers will supply tailored transcripts for the student to review prior to diving into the week's assignments.
