Course Description:  From a sentence to the five-paragraph essay, your student will learn the fundamentals of good writing. Using a cumulative approach, students will build their writing skillset by learning, applying, editing, revising, and producing the final draft. The course will use several pertinent lessons from a variety of writing curriculums which will be directly related to developing expository writing skills for high school students. Students will be required to complete weekly writing assignments, meet deadlines, and provide a brief review on other students’ work. In the remaining six weeks, students will be writing a comprehensive five paragraph essay on a topic of their choice. This class combines well Grammar Boot Camp.

What the length of this course is for the school year

  • Session - These classes may be attended for individual sessions. Once you sign up the teacher will keep you signed up. If you are unable to attend the next session please notify the teacher so they may offer that spot to somebody else.
  • Semester - These classes are offered in 15 week intervals. Like the School Year Classes, these classes build on the information that was taught in the previous classes you must join at the beginning of the semester and continue through the 15 weeks. If you are unable to continue you are still obligated to pay for the entire semester as that spot may no longer be filled.

If you are unable to continue you are still obligated to pay for the entire year as that spot may no longer be filled.
  • Open - You may join these classes at any time. As a courtesy you are still required to notify the teacher if you will no longer be attending.
