授業の目的・内容

Through completion of the tasks in this course, students will master the fundamentals of paragraph writing such as writing clear introduction, and conclusion sentences, as well as giving detailed support for these. Learning the basic grammatical rules required in clear and effective writing will also be taught, including how to use signal words, how not begin sentences with prepositions, as well as instruction on proper punctuation and capitalization usage. After writing a paragraph, there will be peer review, student revisions, and teacher corrections done to each composition before the final draft will be handed into the teacher for a grade.
