tld Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) We've focused on writing solid paragraphs along with a little essay work this school year. We're done with the pieced-together curriculums I planned to use. I'm needing some curriculum to finish up the year now. We're planning on putting him into public school next year and I'm not sure what we should focus on to prep him for that. He's not terribly advanced in his writing, but does okay. I know we haven't done much with outlining and wondering if we should focus there, but would like a resource to guide us. I'm also considering just ordering Writing and Rhetoric book 5 and doing the first part of it because we've used it some in the past and...well....it's something. Any feedback is welcome as to how to finish this school year in the writing realm! Edited March 2, 2020 by tld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 He is probably far ahead of his counterparts in public school, even if you never do a single thing until next fall. I'd do W&R and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would look up claim-evidence-warrant type writing and have him practice writing paragraphs that follow this structure, working up to a simple five-paragraph essay with a thesis that has three claim-evidence-warrant body paragraphs. This is likely the type of writing he will most often encounter in public school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
