Crafting an effective paper
Learning to write timed, persuasive essays is a critical skill to develop as students move from middle school to high school. This workshop uses process writing to enable students to create concise and effective essays in a shorter time than they ever imagined. Students will read short stories, articles, opinion pieces, poems, or subject specific texts (math, science, history, etc.), and work through the writing process step by step: free-writing, identifying your topic, generating guiding questions, creating a thesis, outlining, drafting, and revising. Six, ninety minute sessions. This Chicago essay workshop is for students’ grades 7-10.
