This course utilizes Collections units in order to continue the development of students’ writing skills, emphasizing clear, logical writing patterns, word choice, and usage, as students write essays and begin to learn the techniques of writing research papers. Students continue to read works of literature, which often form the backbone of the writing assignments. Literary conventions and stylistic devices may receive greater emphasis than in previous courses. During the course, students will examine the rhetoric, techniques, and stylistic choices of these authors. Students will write brief responses, explanatory and argumentative essays, and personal narratives.
