Writing a 5 Paragraph Essay Naturally

Description

Overwhelmed and stressed about teaching your child in writing a 5 paragraph essay?

Let an experienced teacher and homeschool mom coach your child from topic idea to a final edited essay so they will excel in writing a 5 paragraph essay naturally and it becomes second nature to them!

When your child completes this course, they’ll have the knowledge, skills, and support to –

• brainstorm ideas for an informative essay. Your child will be able to write down ideas for a topic with details and lose that blank stare at a piece of paper.
• organize thoughts on a topic with subtopics, details and examples. Using these methods will become a habit.
• write five complete paragraphs. Your child will know and be able to write the different kinds of paragraphs, their proper contents, and the correct order.
• build transition, flow, and clarity between paragraphs. Your child will be able to use the tools in this course to write a cohesive essay.
• use varied sentence structures. Your child’s essays will reflect techniques used in this course to add variety and maturity to their sentences to bring their writing to the next level.
• edit a rough draft and have a polished final essay. Written work will have fewer mistakes and be something to show off following my Editing Checklist steps.

Once your child completes their essay, they can submit it to me for a personalized feedback with encouraging comments on what they have completed along with suggestions for improvements.

(Although multiple children from the same family can watch and complete the lessons in this course, only one can submit an essay for review included with this course. There is an option to purchase additional reviews and personalized feedback for other children in your household once they complete the course.)

Your child will then be able to practice using the provided worksheets, handouts, and techniques from this course in writing a 5 paragraph essay naturally!

This course is recommended for students who can at least write one paragraph.

The estimated time it takes to complete this course is approximately 16 hours.

The amount of time it will take to complete this course will vary from student to student based on their experience, focus, and skill level.

Approximately each lesson contains some type of assignment either filling out worksheets or forms and practicing writing a sentence form or a paragraph.

I recommend breaking up the amount of time your child works on these video lessons and assignments into 20 min. – 45 min. time blocks depending on their ability to focus and/or write. Some of the assignments are easier than others and may also have to be broken up into different sit-down sessions depending on your child.

Each step in the writing process has already been broken down for you. It’s up to you to decide how to use and schedule these steps with your child.

Here is what other parents have had to say about our teaching style and methods to help their children learn to write!

– “ I can easily give my highest recommendation to working with Katie Glennon. My son who is now a senior in high school has been working with her throughout high school. This has been one of his favorite subjects in school. He was a hesitant writer and worried about research papers etc. Katie has approached thoroughly the process of writing many kinds of papers with him along with knowledge of how to do citations and bibliographies. She is so prepared and has a wealth of knowledge about writing. She has helped him to develop confidence in his own skills. She has done classes with him using Skype and always encourages him to email her in between lessons if he has questions. He now does not dread writing assignments and feels like he has the tools to do them. I really feel anyone, child or adult, could benefit from her help.”

– Nancy-Ann

– “My son received an 11 out of 12 for his score on the ACT essay after working with you! Thank you!”

– April

– “Hi, Katie, I appreciate you teaching my daughter and I have enjoyed watching her writing skills improve so much. She has learned so much from you teaching her and seems to enjoy writing much more than before too. She often told me what she learned and was proud of herself for learning what she had learned. Lauren really enjoyed her classes with you and often told me how much she has learned from you and how much she enjoyed talking to you each week. I will recommend you to any person needing a tutor.”

– Stephanie Here are what some students have had to say!

– “Mrs. Katie, Thank you so much for always being such an amazing teacher! I have enjoyed my years in your classes so much!”

– Cindy

“Ms. Katie, I am so glad I had you as a teacher before entering community college. I was prepared for the essays and research papers I had to do for these classes. Thank you!”
