Full Year course: Students of all experience levels are welcome.
Class Description:
Advanced Composition & Research Writing explores the fine art of written communication. Students learn to develop critical thinking skills and research writing of informative and persuasive papers through exposure to a variety of sources: books, articles, the internet, and primary and secondary sources. Students will also learn to incorporate MLA writing requirements as they outline and cite sources.
One of the unique features of this course during fall semester is the in-depth research project. Students taking another course at The Academy that has a research paper component (i.e. Art History & Appreciation; American Government) will write one paper for both courses. Mrs. Lee critiques the paper on grammar, mechanics and style, while the other tutor evaluates the paper on content. During spring semester, students will explore an independent literature project in which they review and present a book of their choice. The beauty of this course is that it is tailored to the interests of the student, whether they are preparing or learning for life.
