Tenth+Grade

Welcome to your page!
We will be doing a lot of different things that will help us learn about informational writing. Many of the skills that the students learned in 9th grade when it comes to WITD and their journals we will do in this class as well. Students will write in their journals based on a prompt but are also asked to free write and try to become a better writer by thinking outside of the box. Also we are going to learn to read like a writing. Reading and looking at things that great writings do and then taking that and trying to mimic that. Students will also be using text in class that will help them in their writng.

One of the text that we will be using will be the //Prentice Hall Grammar and Writing// book that they will receive in class. The book will model the steps of writng from the very beginning of the process to the final copy. Students will learn about thought maps and other ways to get ideas on paper. Students will learn about the different types of drafts and ways to write different types of papers and why we write them. Lastly students will learn what the final copy should look like when turning it in.
