Students begin with refining basic writing skills before progressing to various essay forms, science and social studies research papers, literary analyses, and college admissions essays. Students write one research paper per semester along with weekly essay and research assignments. Special emphasis is placed on writing skills needed for success in college. The course culminates with a detailed college admissions unit which is designed to prepare students for that process as seniors.
