Essay Writing for Middle Schoolers

We will be writing, writing, writing as we work toward forming clear, flowing, five paragraph essays. Some of the things we will be doing together are: fun exercises to jump-start and organize thoughts, grabbing the reader's attention in the first paragraph, using transitions to link ideas, expressing those ideas in a personal style, and learning to edit. Informative, compare/contrast, and persuasive essays will be included. All levels are welcome! Because writing is so personal, sharing will be optional and content will not be a factor in grading.

Grades 6-8
Time: 1:00-2:30 PM
Dates: Tuesdays March 2, 9, 16, and 23rd
Cost: $70
