Writing 3: The Wonders of Science

Dead ants and honey bees? 

Monarch migration and meteorites? 

Learn more about these intriguing science concepts as we work to sharpen your emerging writing skills!

Writing 3 is a full-year writing course suggested for students in 3rd- 7th grade who have mastered writing simple sentences independently. 

This is an exciting and inspiring class that will give your students the skills they need for future writing success!

In Writing 3, we will read and write about science-themed topics such as insects, inventions, and famous scientists. IEW Units focus on helping students learn to take notes, retell narrative stories, summarize references, write from pictures, and compose essays. Writing 3 will include some English grammar instruction as part of the writing curriculum. Students will solidify their understanding and usage of parts of speech, types of sentences, punctuation and more!  Please note: This is a writing class and not meant to replace science curriculum!

Class time will be devoted to reading and discussing each week’s source text and working together to implement specific writing styles. Students will work on a composition assignment during each week to submit for grading.
