It will require a 30-to 45-minute daily writing block. Please view this informational video before beginning: Click Here\u003Cbr>• Included in this mini-unit are an expository pre-test, eight writing lessons, and a post-test. While it may be tempting to skip the pre and post-test, we strongly encourage you not to! Students’ selfconfidence as writers grows when they can see how much they have improved. Through positive experiences, a love of writing and increased motivation and engagement will emerge. You will be amazed to see how much growth can happen in eight lessons.\u003Cbr>• The objective of this mini-unit is for students to begin learning how to plan and structure each paragraph of an expository essay. The focus of these carefully selected lessons is how to construct a thoughtful, organized response. This is the foundation of quality essay writing!\u003Cbr>• In our Florida edition, our entire expository unit is comprised of 29 lessons. We have included the Table of Contents for our complete curriculum at the end of the “Teacher Packet.” We invite you to review the sequence of lessons and imagine the continued growth your students would experience beyond the eight lessons in this mini-unit.\u003Cbr>• At Top Score Writing, we believe one of the secrets to creating successful writers is monitoring their understanding on a day-to-day basis so teachers can quickly and easily make instructional decisions. Included in this mini-unit, you will find a “Skill Tracker.” Here, you will be able to record students’understanding each step of the way. At a glance, you will know your class trends and each student’sexact strengths and weaknesses. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Pacing:\u003Cbr>* C o m p l e t e t h e P r e-T e s t b e f o r e b e g i n n i n g\u003Cbr>t h e u n i t W e e k 1\u003Cbr>L e s s o n 1 P l a n n i n g\u003Cbr>L e s s o n 2 I n t r o d u c t i o n (“ I ” ) P a r a g r a p h L e s s o n 3 T o p i c S e n t e n c e\u003Cbr>Wee k 2\u003Cbr>L e s s o n 4 M i d d l e P a r a g r a p h s L e s s o n 5 C i t i n g Y o u r S o u r c e s\u003Cbr>L e s s o n 6 W r a p-u p (“W ” ) S e n t e n c e Wee k 3\u003Cbr>L e s s o n 7 O v e r v i e w o f E l a b o r a t i v e T e c h n i q u e s\u003Cbr>L e s s o n 8 C o n c l u s i o n (“ C ” ) P a r a g r a p h A s s e s s m e n t - Po s t-T e s t | Prep:\u003Cbr>1.
