The Expressive Writing Program<\/em><\/strong> is composed of two levels, Expressive Writing 1<\/em>and Expressive Writing 2. Expressive Writing 1<\/em> consists of 50 lessons. Expressive Writing 2<\/em> consists of a ten-lesson preprogram followed by 50 regular lessons. The program can be used with students of any age who can read at a third-grade level or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressive Writing 1<\/em><\/strong> is designed for students who haven’t mastered foundational writing skills. Students learn to construct simple sentences by reporting on what a picture shows. They learn that a sentence has two parts, the part that names and the part that tells more. Students learn to identify sentences and edit short paragraphs, indicating the part of a sentence that names and the part that tells more. Students write sentences by naming a person or thing and telling what that person or thing did. As the program develops, students learn to tell the main thing a person did and to construct paragraphs for a sequence of pictures. A process through which students discuss a writing assignment, then write, then systematically edit for specific points becomes an integral part of the program. At the end of Expressive Writing 1,<\/em> students can write a paragraph that describes a sequence of related actions using simple declarative sentences, punctuates sentences correctly, write consistently in the simple past tense, and write paragraphs that include sufficient detail and stay on topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressive Writing 2<\/em><\/strong> is designed for students who can construct a basic paragraph, but who have problems with clarity, are unable to punctuate quotes and other sentence types correctly, and use a narrow variety of sentence forms. Writing exercises begin with simple one-paragraph assignments, then increase gradually to two, three, and more paragraphs. Students learn to infer important detail that must have happened between pictures in a sequence. By the end of Expressive Writing 2,<\/em> students can write a multi-paragraph narrative that is: written clearly (using clear pronoun referents and including details necessary for clarity) uses a variety of sentence types, and includes correctly punctuated direct quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
