Scholars Prep for Essay Writing

This past week, Grade 6 students prepared to compose multi-paragraph theme essays following their reading of The Finest Hours. Mr. Mulder has been joined by Ms. Quirk, a student teacher from Bridgewater State, who is photographed talking through the steps of developing a claim with the students. From here, students will engage in a process-approach to writing by generating a claim, selecting effective evidence and analyzing that evidence to draft the series of paragraphs which will make up their essay.
