Structured Writing

Teacher:  Eileen Chapman

Class Description: Structured Writing, written by Laura George, is the course of writing that inspired Mrs. Chapman to become a writing teacher.  She sat under the teaching of Mrs. George while her two oldest children took this class in high school.  This course will help a student learn how-to write so that they may concentrate more fully on what-to write.  “The Structured Writing method defines academic writing as writing that is controlled by one idea or position and is used for explaining, defining, categorizing, persuading, informing, comparing, and/or describing.”  This class builds on single paragraphs but goes far beyond the five-paragraph essay.
