Welcome to "Summer Prep Writing Course for High School Learners," an exciting online program tailored to help you gain the writing skills you need for high school success. This course is ideal for students who are transitioning from middle school to high school or for those already in high school who wish to enhance their writing abilities. By participating in this course, you can bridge any learning gaps and be better prepared for the upcoming school year.

📓 Course Objectives:

Enhance Analytical Skills: Develop learners' ability to analyze and interpret literature effectively.

Strengthen Writing Techniques: Learn to write clear, coherent persuasive essays.

Build Confidence: Gain confidence in writing through practice and constructive feedback.

Prepare for the School Year: Get a head start on literary assignments for the upcoming school year.

🚨 Who Should Enroll?

Anyone Interested in Building Essay Writing Skills: Whether you love writing or want to learn to appreciate it, this course is for your learner!

📚 Course Features
Interactive Lessons: Engaging teacher and interactive activities ensure a dynamic learning experience.

Practice Assignments: Apply what you learn with hands-on writing assignments and receive personalized feedback from an experienced instructor.

Flexible Content: Learn at your own pace by reviewing class material and previous class recordings accessible from any device, anytime.

Sample Models: Learners have exemplar texts to examine that act as clear, concrete examples of quality work which helps students understand expectations, identify areas for improvement, and improve their own work.


I evaluate all typed and written submissions. When completing writing assessments, students are usually evaluated on several key criteria:

✅ Clarity and Coherence
✅ Grammar and Mechanics
✅ Structure and Organization
✅ Creativity and Originality
✅ Evidence


Feedback is a crucial part of writing assessments. I provide detailed comments highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. This feedback helps students refine their skills and enhance their writing abilities over time.

Class sizes will remain small for the most optimal learning environment, so have your learner join me this summer and take the first step towards becoming a confident and skilled writer.

Learning Goals

Develop your ability to write clear, coherent, and engaging essays.
