| Course Description: | |
| This course provides students with both instruction and practice in writing for different audiences and purposes. Pieces by professional writers prompt discussion and serve as models for further writing.
Working independently and in groups, students refine their use of language. Students also learn to interpret and evaluate writing in the media as well as information conveyed by graphics. The standards-based units of study integrate all aspects of literacy: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Students collect their work and reflections in portfolios. | |
