Pacing

decorative image

Our Composition I course is designed as twelve modules to support these English Composition outcomes. Most teachers use one module per week for a twelve-week term using extra time to slow down or stretch out specific modules. The modules can easily be re-arranged, deleted, and added to your already existing course materials. We recommend the following pacing for 12, 8, and 6 week courses:
