Write to Success!
English Core Course
“Write to Success!” teaches students how to compose an effective English analytical essay. Writing workshops will walk students through each step of the writing process, from the thesis to conclusion. 1:1 feedback is a large aspect of instruction, and students will receive personalized suggestions on each night’s work.
With the culmination of a final English paper based on a short fictional story, students will leave with a well-rounded writing background in preparation for high school courses.
