Intro to Effective Writing

Monday, 10:20-11:20  |  Grades 7-9  |  Instructor: John Jenkins  |  Class meets 33 times

Prepare your students for the rigors of Effective Writing 101. This class incorporates the same academic and professional techniques that develop a student’s critical thinking, organizing skills, and effective communication through essays. Students will learn how to 1) take notes, 2) conduct research on the internet, 3) organize information, 4) document sources including footnoting, 5) write effective sentences and paragraphs using basic grammar, spelling, capitalization rules, plus formatting skills such as double-spacing, indents and setting margins. Using these basic skills, the students will then learn how write effective essays.
