This course will provide an introduction to the expectations of secondary-level English classes. We will focus on the writing process—pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing—in our composition of essays and smaller assignments. We will practice expository writing (analysis, persuasion, and interpretation) as well as prose writing (description, narration, and modeling). While learning various writing styles, we will discover the importance of voice and point-of-view in writing. We will practice interpretation of concrete, visual imagery and later create our own artistic works to better understand authorial intent. Then, we will transfer these visual skills to analysis and creation of more abstract and metaphorical language in written works. Every day, we will write in our journals, study the roots of vocabulary words, and learn strategies for revising and self-editing.
