This course weaves reading and writing together as a basis for being a good, competent writer. Each unit focuses on a different genre of writing. Students choose from a list of exemplar texts within that genre to deepen understanding of literary elements, like plot, character, point-of-view, setting, theme, and conflict. The writing process utilizes six steps: brainstorming, prewriting, drafting, feedback, revising/editing, and publishing. By working through the writing process to strengthen writing skills and understanding, each student will complete the year with a portfolio of fiction and nonfiction works.
