Definition of Composition

Composition is writing boot camp. This one semester course teaches students how to write a variety of sentence styles, paragraph construction, and different modes of essay writing in order to prepare students for the Smarter Balanced test, SAT, and college placement tests. The course will aid students with both basic skills and high-level skills; this course will improve SAT scores significantly and almost guarantee a passing score on the Oregon writing test that is required for high school graduation.
