Join our comprehensive writing course where students will master every aspect of the writing process, from brainstorming to editing. Develop skills in sentence structure, paragraph organization, descriptive language, and word selection. Classes include a blend of instruction, interactive learning activities, writing exercises, group sessions, and peer review workshops. Homework assignments focus on refining writing skills through practice and editing. **Weeks 1-4: Narrative Writing** Explore the art of narrative writing through analyzing examples and crafting your own Character Sketch, Autobiographical Incident, and Short Story. **Weeks 5-8: Expository Writing** Dive into expository writing as you study models and produce your Introduce Yourself!, Process Essay, and Compare and Contrast Essay. **Weeks 9-12: Persuasive Writing** Master persuasive writing techniques while analyzing persuasive examples and composing your Letter for Social Change, Personal Essay, and Analysis of a Short Story. By the end of the course, students will have assembled a diverse writing portfolio comprising nine distinct pieces.
