This course prepares high school students for college-level writing by developing their ability to engage critically with texts, construct well-supported arguments, and write with clarity and confidence. Students will learn to engage with texts critically, summarize key ideas, analyze arguments, and articulate their own perspectives with clarity and precision while integrating evidence effectively.
Students will complete a variety of writing assignments, including:
Persuasive essays – Developing logical, well-structured arguments
Literary analysis – Examining themes, symbolism, and authorial intent
Research-based argument papers – Gathering and incorporating credible sources
Personal reflections and response essays – Expressing ideas with depth and clarity
In addition to writing, the course includes focused instruction on grammar and mechanics to help students refine their skills.
Designed to complement our World History and World Literature curricula, this class encourages students to engage with historical themes and literary works through writing. By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation in academic writing and critical thinking, equipping them for success in future academic pursuits.
