You can expect to learn different writing forms including journaling, creative writing, summary, expository writing, personal essay, biography, defined question, poetry forms, persuasive writing and more. In addition, we will learn how to craft an essay, the elements of story, what makes writing persuasive, tone, theme, word choice, and basic grammar.
