I expect to see an outline with every multi-paragraph essay written by you this school year. We will learn the difference between myths and legends. We continue with the Plain Dealer and stringing single paragraphs into Five Paragraph Essays. You will be writing your own myth too. Myths as you remember from last week are stories explaining some natural phenomenon.
Myths differ from legends in that legends often have at least a little historical basis.
Week Seven Let's fix up our myths this week and publish. On the Writing portion of the Ninth Grade Proficiency Test, one of the writing items is usually a friendly letter. A regular essay becomes a letter with a date, a salutation, and a closing with a signature. So the web site is writing in a different form. We continue with writing Five Paragraph Essays and we will read a little poetry this week.
