Explore English

This week we continue with writing and composition. After a session on brainstorming and organizing, students will look at the basic structure of an essay. We have written 5-sentence paragraphs, and will move to a 5-paragraph essay.


Students will also be introduced to writing classifications: expository, narrative, descriptive, and persuasive (argument).


Last week, students wrote an injury story. Please complete these and hand in by this Thursday.


Currently, students are using an essay outline to prepare writing a one-page, five paragraph essay on a topic of their choice. They must highlight their thesis/topic sentence and "hook" the reader using one of the examples provided.
