Level F
Suggested Grade: Fifth Grade +
As a courtesy, the basic writing unit from Level E is included (prior to Unit 1), in order to accommodate those students who have not yet mastered the process of writing organized paragraphs.
In Units 1-2, students must insert synonyms for commonly used emotion words into pre-written stories. Students use critical thinking skills, as well as dictionary skills to determine appropriate word usage. Students then create their own emotion stories from story prompts using the new Vivid Vocabulary. Students are encouraged to incorporate figurative language that applies to emotions in their stories.
Unit 3 concentrates on figurative language that deals with the Five Senses. Students write independently using the four Types of Introductions and elaborate Story Plots.
In Unit 4, the Persuasive style of writing is mastered. Students learn three types of appeals, the format in which to apply Persuasive writing and specific transitional vocabulary needed for this style of writing. Vivid Vocabulary that applies to Persuasive writing is incorporated in dictionary skill activities. Sample Persuasive essays are provided for student editing. Students experiment with 12 different Styles of Poetry. Definitions, examples and pre-writing activities are included.
In the final section of Level F, there are pre-written narrative and Expository essays that focus on different Conventions of writing. Students are given the opportunity to practice editing, peer editing and revising.
