8th-10th Curricula

The curricula created for these students focuses on the basics of topic sentences, sentence structure, sentence openers, transitions, and the basics of essay construction. A research paper assignment is included at the end of the second semester.
The first semester primarily draws lessons in writing from their readings and varies their compositions to help them be concise and specific. The second semester is a study in poetry/short stories/timed essays/note taking ending with the research paper.
Each year, I vary up the lessons depending on what was most successful from the previous year and what areas of weakness needed more attention. They are designed to be used in the co-op setting, however, I have managed to use these with singular students as well. I hope they are useful to you in your educational endeavors with your children or others!
