Mr. LeCara addresses a crucial gap in traditional classroom settings by offering comprehensive coverage of important writing skills often overlooked or taught superficially. Drawing from his experience as a former classroom teacher, he understands the challenges of adhering to rigid curriculum pacing, which can hinder a deeper exploration of essential concepts.
In this course, students will receive in-depth instruction on vital aspects such as avoiding drop quotes, creating effective Works Cited and Works Consulted pages, and constructing strong conclusions that showcase critical thinking skills. These skills are not only valued by college professors but also contribute to students' overall writing proficiency and ability to engage with texts on a deeper level.
