Day One: Composition

Next week starts the new Composition class.  Here is a copy of my Day One plans.  I want the kids to experience many forms of writing: youth group newsletters, lab reports, English essays, Etsy shop descriptions.  Here is 5 Paragraph Essay.  Our first task is to edit the slideshow.  Numbers ten or fewer are written.  5 should be five.  However, the contents of the slideshow outline a bare-bones essay.  The first writing assignment is to describe their family’s birthday celebration.    I have links listed for more ideas.  My goal is to introduce Claim-Evidence-Reasoning to use when writing lab reports.  Here is an older blog post about discrepant events in science, using a Poly Density Kit.  Here’s hoping we have a blast!
