Language
Language consists of grammar and writing.
Grammar
This portion of language deals with sentence structure and parts of speech. The tests for these are given after we finish a concept. 🖋
Writing
We use the writing process any time we write. This includes prewriting, rough drafts, revising and proofreading, and then creating a final copy. The final copy is always graded with a rubric and counted as a test grade. The test dates vary according to what we are covering. The concepts or writing objectives being covered will be listed on this site on a weekly basis along with the test dates. ✏️
We will be focusing on opinion and explanatory writing throughout the year. This will be based on expository text or nonfiction reading selections. Students will have to give several reasons or statements and back them up with facts or details from the selection.
Current Lesson
We are currently writing multi-paragraph essays with an introduction, body, and conclusion.
