Reading & Analysis: Exploring diverse literature and articles to evaluate themes, main arguments, and text structures.
Clear & Confident Writing: Crafting compelling stories, research-based arguments, and essays while refining grammar and style.
Speaking & Collaboration: Engaging in meaningful class discussions, team projects, and presentations.
About me
