Course Description
Academic Year 2024-2025 • Grade 8 and above • Writing Sequence
Writing for the College-bound
Expository writing in an academic setting imposes specific demands on the high school and college student. Writing clear prose that presents a position in a compelling manner is a fundamental skill not only for college work but for every citizen participating in civil discourse in a democracy.
Using a proven sequence of exercises, students will learn how to identify different kinds of essay questions, organize evidence in an orderly manner, avoid logical fallacies and vague generalizations, and proofread their final drafts for common errors.
Students who require a self-paced asynchronous approach or wish to focus first on specific grammatical skills should consider the Cursus scriptorum course.
