It's impossible to write a great essay if you don't understand the question-- which is why understanding the difference between words like "explain" and "discuss" is crucial to essay success. Each week, we'll go over a common essay instruction word-- like explain, analyze, compare and contrast, or discuss. We'll review what the word is asking the reader to do, as well as how to tap into our knowledge of the subject material to provide the best answer. We'll then practice the skill by answering a question on a fun, low-stakes subject to reinforce our knowledge!

This class is a great "next step" for middle or high school students who want to take their essay writing to the next level, but is also beginner-friendly enough for students who are still getting the hang of structured writing.
