Emphasis is placed on the writing process, organization, methods of development, and diction.
In addition, students will participate in peer-response activities designed to strengthen critical writing skills and develop critical thought. You will be a member of a writing group for the entire summer session. We will write a total of 5 essays, including one with research and MLA documentation. You may take the option of rewriting ONE essay for a second grading - the average grade counts. ALL turned in essays will be typed on a computer or word processor and submitted in the manila portfolio.
