Students will read stories, poems, and longer works, but the primary focus of the course is on writing skills. Early in the course, the writing is focused on self-exploration that will help them understand who they are and where they might want to go with their lives. Later, in the course, the students will write a longer research paper to really work on their writing and organizational skills and to help prepare them for assignments if they choose to continue their schooling.
