We are working on becoming comfortable with essay writing and strengthening our paragraph writing skills. This is an ongoing process; students are writing and participating in writing workshops several times a week. The goal is that students work at their own pace, and all students write as many different essays as possible following the process of: research, organize research, fill in gaps, write body paragraphs, write introduction/conclusion paragraphs, and write their final copy. 

See this handout for organization sheets.
