COURSE DESCRIPTION -
This course will focus on the entire writing process, from pre-writing
strategies through the final draft. Students will study the construction of
writing, including sentence structure and grammar. Primary forms of writing
will include personal essays and using text examples to prove a thesis,
which will prepare students for their 10th grade level state exam. Much
emphasis will be placed on the revising and editing of drafts to create a
final written product. Other writing forms will be utilized to reinforce
the process of writing, and vocabulary will be studied in order to improve
student writing. There will be literature analysis in the form of using
text examples to prove a thesis, and some works from various cultures and
countries will be read and studied as examples.
