Description

Class Experience

Writing in college is a whole different ball game. Writing becomes the main focus, and professors expect you to be ready to handle it. If you want to get ready for college-level writing, this is the place for you! Each class, we will analyze texts, compare and contrast ideas and concepts, and review how to apply important elements like proper citations and grammar to all of our writing. 

What we will do: Each class will start with reading a short article and doing an analysis. This class is...

The goal of this class is to complete collaborative assignments in writing to prepare for writing at the college level. Students will gain confidence writing on their own and gain the skills needed to write at the college level successfully.

In this class, we may discuss controversial topics and read articles about issues that students may or may not have strong opinions on, and class discussion will address the strengths, weaknesses, and opposing viewpoints at all times in order to provide a fair and balanced perspective. We spend a lot of time in the "grey area" of issues in order to look at all the sides.

After class, students may choose to complete their writing response by applying our class lesson and discussion to their work and send it to the teacher for feedback.

Come ready with a sharp mind, a pencil, paper, or a place to type during class.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
