High School Power Writing Program

“Writing is a powerful instrument of thinking because it provides students with a way of gaining control over their thoughts”

Helping students become competent and compelling writers is the goal of this class.  During the writing process, students learn:

  • How to make grammatical choices (e.g. Verb tense, subject-verb agreement)
  • Conventional choices (e.g. Comma splices, sentence fragments, misused words)
  • Stylistic choices (e.g. parallel structure, active and passive voice)

In addition, they learn varied methods of paragraph development while applying punctuation and mechanical conventions.
