Essay Styles for High
School:
This is an excellent English 1 option preparing students for
writing essays in high school and college. Any high
schooler who hasn’t had an essay course or who needs a
refresher would benefit. Note that for full
English credit, students will need to study literature
outside of this course because it is not literature
based. Rather, this course is intensively
focused on building competent composition skills. This
is a full year course.
A Study in American
Writers–
This American Literature course can be a full English credit
for any high school student. It is literature based using whole
books rather than anthologies. Students need to have
studied the five basic essays or concurrently be in the essay
course in order to take this class. The reading level for
this course is varied, but students need to be able to stay on
top of the reading throughout the year. Books may be purchased
for this course here. This is a
full year course.
The
Steps to Writing a Research Paper–
This class covers all of the steps to writing a research paper
from topic selection to a final presentation. It is
recommended that college bound high school students write at
least two research papers. This course can be counted as
part of an English credit for any high school year. All
high schoolers are welcome to take this course
and the
writing requirements will be adjusted to the level of the
student. It is one semester and will be offered the first
semester of the school year. (Fall

The Art of Public Speaking:

It involves writing the speeches as well as presenting
