Students will learn how to research a topic, take excellent notes, and form an outline. They will then learn how to take that information and turn it into a well written paper. We will discuss the various styles of essays, however, this session we will focus more on becoming comfortable with the writing process. Many times the student lacks the confidence to write; I want to help them break down that fear and find their voice. This is an excellent class for all High School students.
