Sentence to Paragraph Writing Grades: 6-8 – Rachel
Celsor
Sentence to Paragraph Writing is a fundamental approach, which starts with composing
well written, basic sentences, and then quickly moves to developing a single paragraph paper. The class will begin with improving
sentence structure by applying basic grammar and figures of speech. This emphasis is continued as the student learns the organizational
process of brainstorming, outlining, rough draft, and editing, resulting in a well written paragraph. Weekly assignments are
posted at Basic Structured Writing The student will need to purchase the worksheets ebook, which will cost $20 per year.
