Week 21: Jan. 16-Jan. 20

LAST WEEK…

Students continued to practice with the types of sentence structures: simple, compound, complex & compound/complex. We discussed how it’s not necessarily important that we know what each type is called but that we are able to incorporate a variety of these types in any piece of writing to add interest and flow (to effectively communicate). Students worked on completing four tasks to look at the 4 main types of writing: descriptive, informative, persuasive & narrative.

Weekly Writing Assignment

Think about something you do well but that your parents don’t know how to do. Create a 1 page document that teaches them how! Before you begin, consider what makes a piece of writing INFORMATIVE. Try to incorporate multiple informative features.

Due: Friday, 1/20
