This month we've created six lessons on paragraph writing using quotations. These are great lessons to improve academic writing skills:
|
-
- Identifying a position or opinion on a given topic.
- Reading ten quotations and identifying which ones are in support of the student’s position.
- Choosing three quotations to write a 120-180 word paragraph.
- Following the conventions of paragraph structure (topic sentence, development, examples, concluding sentence).
- Paraphrasing the quotations into a cohesive paragraph.
- Referencing the selected sources using in-text citations.
This newsletter contains a free lesson (see below). This will only be available for our subscribers for 5 days (expires 26th April) so grab it while you can!
