How it Works:

Students apply grade 6 language skills to correct a paragraph on Monday through Thursday; when read together, the four paragraphs form a cohesive composition. A writing prompt on Friday relates to the week's four-paragraph composition and provides an opportunity for students to apply the targeted language conventions they practiced.The weekly passages cover a broad range of expository and narrative writing forms, including:

• nonfiction texts on grade-level social studies and science topics
• biographies, book reviews, instructions, interviews, journal entries, and letters
• fables, fantasy and science fiction, historical fiction, personal narratives,
  and realistic fiction
