High school students seem to consistently struggle with writing, students often struggle with some of the basic steps of putting together a five paragraph essay. This unit is designed to give students a step by step guide on how to find quality sources, write a strong thesis statement, and put together an essay outline that will lead them to successfully writing a five paragraph essay.
The idea behind this unit is to give sophomore students the foundation they need in writing, so that junior and senior teachers can just review quickly the process instead of re-teaching. This unit will be taught from both the English teacher and History teacher perspective, since those are the two classes that assign the most written assignments.
