Essay Styles for High School

An Essential Writing Curriculum for Every High School Student! 

Essay writing, required for every high school student, requires a clear understanding of the essay types, essay structure, the writing process and solid evaluation to be truly beneficial. At Epi Kardia, we don’t view writing as a subject, but rather an essential life skill. Students who can express themselves well through writing tend to accomplish more in every subject area. Writing promotes more succinct communication, better organizational skills and higher level thinking. It develops confidence, creates an outlet for healthy expression and strengthens a student’s overall academic prowess. 

With our new high school curriculum, Essay Styles for High School, your student will learn to write the five most common types of essays: narrative, descriptive, expository, persuasive and comparison/contrast. This course is designed with step by step detailed instructions for both the student and teacher providing a clear picture of each essay style along with solid goals and objectives. Even parents who do not view themselves as strong writers can teach this course because the evaluation section describes exactly what you need to look for in your student’s writing and explains how to determine a fair grade, as well.
