Description

All 6 lessons are complete — draft a longer text in a genre that matches our purpose, write in fluent cursive with our own personal style, shape a personal voice using word choice and style, name the point of view in our own texts, revise the content and structure of a draft, not just its surface errors, and edit a draft for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and format errors.

Every lesson comes with a full teaching set: a lesson plan, a worksheet, homework, and a handout. The unit also includes 6 exit cards, 2 quizzes, a project, and an assignment.
