Does learning high school essay-writing feel like a chore? Welcome to the Put Some Pants on That Kid writing curriculum! Put Some Pants on That Kid takes a big-picture, practical approach to writing, addressing the why behind the typical expectations for essays and research papers, and providing students the tools they need to understand those larger concepts, master them, and extrapolate them to future writing assignments. The Put Some Pants on That Kid curriculum is recommended for students at the 9th-12th grade levels, and covers: --Essay writing (narrative and argumentative/persuasive) --Research papers & research techniques --Practical writing (business letters, business emails, resumes, cover letters, and writing in online spaces such as blogs or social media) --An introduction to citation requirements and formatting for MLA and APA and more! Each topic is covered in-depth, addressing not only expectations and techniques for each style of writing, but also the reasons behind them. This curriculum teaches students how to think well about their ideas and the words which communicate them, and provides the tools for students to confidently fulfill assignment expectations while still allowing room for creativity and individual expression in their writing. The Put Some Pants on That Kid curriculum comes in two parts: The Student Book, which provides the core text for the curriculum, and The Parent/Teacher Guide, which provides a 32-week schedule, lesson plans, and techniques for parents or teachers who wish to use this handbook as a curriculum for their high schoolers. (Parent/Teacher Guide sold separately.) The curriculum also includes free access to printable rubrics, handouts, checklists, and other resources for use with the curriculum. These resources are available online and may be printed and copied for you or your students' use as often as needed at no additional cost. Want to know more?
