Essay Writing - The Argument Essay: Assert, Support, Reason, & Counter

🤞𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙚: We have a summer section of this class that is an accelerated intensive (all 10 classes take place in the span of two weeks, essentially functioning like a camp). Please check the schedule. 

🥊 Ah, the art of argument! You may think your teen is already pretty talented in this area. This may be true! But are their arguments valid and reasonable? Do they know how to acknowledge the other side of an issue, a counterclaim, and refute it? How well are their arguments presented in writing? Most high school and college writing is argument writing, and this class prepares them for college writing, including dual enrollment. Literary analysis and research papers require argument writing, and all the required writing prompts on the AP English and AP Language exams are argument writing. Students will be prepared for the rigor of upper high school and college writing after taking this course. In fact, some of our students have reported using our writing guide, which has clear and useful graphic organizers, to write their essays in their college courses. 

This is a multi-week, intensive writing class. Students will learn to write coherent, organized, and effective argumentative essays, which is a difficult--but critical--skill.

• Specific, not general
• Immediate, not postponed
• Routine with a revision / feedback cycle
• Explanatory
• The right amount
• Targeted to the most critical issues
• Varied (written, audio, and video comments)
• Holding students accountable
