During this class, teens will learn skills that hones their thinking and writing skills and builds their confidence. High schoolers need to be able to communicate their thoughts in a clear and persuasive manner. Even reluctant writers can build a strong skill set for essay-writing as we break the process into manageable steps. The logical thinking process behind a well-written essay is not intuitive to most kids. This class is presented in a friendly, conversational style so that every child can feel comfortable. We meet each student where they are and support even the most reluctant writer!
We will be using, Advanced Guide to High School Essay Writing as our spine to guide students through skills that will help them confidently write college-ready literary analysis and other essays. Although this is a faith based curriculum, the class is not.

- Essay Format

- The Compare/Contrast Essay
- The Timed Essay
- Editing Checklist

Homework: students will complete their writing assignments at home along with any reading material that may pertain to the assignment.
