Writing

You will have to write a great deal in this class! Yes, it is harder than worksheets and many other activities, but it essential for your development as a productive citizen in the future.  Each and everyone of you must possess the ability to convey your thoughts, opinions and information coherently through writing!

Many people (even adults) find the writing process frustrating, and attempt to avoid it at all costs. So do not feel isolated by your fears, you are definitely not alone. Together we will work to simplify and strengthen your confidence surrounding this skill, but remember that with all skills (riding bikes, shooting basketball, drawing, etc.) it takes practice and repetition.
