overture.jpg

The Overture level will challenge students by increasing the complexity of structure and style in the students’ writing. Students will write essays. The students will choose the topics of their essays. The students will write an informational essay and a persuasive essay. Students will work through each step of creating an essay throughout the modules. Throughout the level, students would continue developing stronger writing skills while creating OFFs using varied sources texts of their choice. They will have a grammar practice each week and opportunities to use our unique writing tools to learn how to best express themselves in their writing. This level runs more as an on-going workshop with instructional support, more than earlier levels. This level requires consistent student participation.
