English Writing Level 3
Students refine the development of ideas into coherent, unified writing. Journals provide a place both to reflect on topics of personal interest, and to respond to the reading, listening and discussions in the class. Students revise for logical presentation of ideas and edit for greater complexity in sentence structure. The goal of this level is to focus on the clear expression of main ideas and subsequent details.
