This course covers four foundational five-paragraph essays that are crucial for developing strong writing skills. This discounted, no-feedback course allows learners to write essays and use automation tools to receive feedback. They will learn how to submit their work to AI tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT to get feedback on grammar, punctuation, spelling, and content. Parents can also use provided rubrics to give feedback.

While feedback is beneficial, this course is offered for two reasons:
1. Due to requests from parents and learners who want writing practice without feedback.
2. To accommodate families looking to save money while still experiencing the course.

Rubrics will help parents and learners gauge writing quality. Links to websites where learners can upload their work for feedback will be provided.

Essays include: Definition, Compare and Contrast, Persuasive, and Analysis.
