Goals:
High school introduces new expectations for students’ writing and for independence in the writing process. This group class lays the foundations for high school essay writing in 9th and 10th grade by teaching students each stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to revision, so that students can approach their high school essays with confidence. Students will learn how to break down an essay prompt, plan effectively to avoid writing at the last minute, outline and draft their essays, and revise their own (and others’) work. Between each class, students will complete homework assignments in order to prepare a full essay of their own.
