All writing assignments will be in the form of essays, reports, or projects.  Students will be asked if they would like to share with the class.  They do not have to if they don't desire to.  We will offer teacher and student feedback.  Students will work heavily with the teacher as well as their peers while creating their writings.  All of our writing and English studies will be heavily discussion based.  Students will work on writing in and out of class.  Students will go over their work for revisions with the teacher and will complete a final draft.
