We added a student to Composition. All five are reluctant writers. Class is really English with Writing at the core. Each class, we’re breaking the 90 minute session into small chunks; brainstorming, revising, proof-reading, editing, and doing a bit of grammar. I’m using an elementary-level textbook to teach a high school level class. The real challenge is to engage the teens without overwhelming them or being condescending. Our next writing exercise is Film Reviews. Here are a bunch of templates. Teach with Movies has instructions and a film study worksheet with more depth than the templates. We’re starting with this template to help the kids learn how to craft a paragraph.
