Writing/Grammar

Writing classes provide instruction in developing a five paragraph essay which includes the introduction (topic sentence and introduction of supports), development of supports, and a conclusion. Students also receive instruction in brainstorming, outlining, communicating, and writing to a specific audience.  Different writing styles such as narrative, compare/contrast, and descriptive are taught. Students are evaluated by a portfolio of assigned writings and post-tests.

Grammar classes provide instruction in basic grammar and are required for students in Basic English.
