This class starts by setting the groundwork with the core principles of essay writing, such as understanding the essay format, brainstorming, and filling out an outline (one will be provided for the learner). I then move on to crafting an effective thesis statement, the driving force of an essay, and show tips and tricks on how to organize one’s research. As the weeks progress, we dig into advanced topics such as utilizing and citing effective sources, using transition words, and making sure all students understand the essentials of MLA formatting and citing.

This course is structured to accommodate both beginners and those with some basic experience, ensuring that all participants develop the skills to produce well-structured, coherent, and compelling essays. Learners will be engaged with various interactive activities, real-life examples, and critical writing assignments to practice and enhance their understanding.

By the end of this course, learners will be equipped with the confidence and competence to tackle any essay writing task with ease. They will learn to articulate their thoughts more clearly, convincingly, and creatively, thereby improving their overall communication skills.
