Students will:

• Learn how to write a newspaper article using the 5Ws and how to structure information with an inverted pyramid

• Use interviews, research, and planning organizers to develop ideas

• Build paragraphs with clear topic sentences, elaboration, transitions, and concluding statements

• Write an autobiographical essay based on three personal character traits

• Develop introductions, conclusions, and thesis statements for structured essay writing

• Practice proofreading and editing to finalize a polished written product

Each week includes guided instruction, planners, graphic organizers, and writing checklists to build skills gradually and support independent work.
