"Paragraph of the Week"
Hello!
Writing Homework will begin tomorrow, Monday the 21st!
Students will receive 2 pages every Monday, and will be expected to return both pages by Friday, each week. Students will have a different writing task every evening, and by Friday students will have a complete paragraph ready to turn in!
For the first 9 weeks, students writing homework will be:
Monday: Brainstorm on a given topic
Tuesday: Choose 3 details, then write 3 sentences (including an explanation)
Wednesday: Write a topic and closing sentence
Thursday: Put it all together, and write a paragraph!
Friday: Turn in the 2 page homework to be graded
Student paragraphs will be graded with the following rubric:
I am sending home a larger version of this rubric on pink paper, please keep this at home to use as a reference!
Students may find this a bit challenging in the beginning, but please encourage them to continue their efforts....the skill of paragraphing is a very important writing skill!
Thank you for your support, as always!!!
