Writing

Students:

learn to appreciate that a key purpose of writing is to communicate clearly to an external, sometimes unfamiliar audience, and they begin to adapt the form and content of their writing to accomplish a particular task and purpose.
develop the capacity to build knowledge on a subject through research projects and to respond analytically to literary and informational sources. devote significant time and effort to writing, producing numerous pieces over short and extended time frames throughout the year.

To build a foundation for college and career readiness, students need to learn to use writing as a way of offering and supporting opinions, demonstrating understanding of the subjects they are studying, and conveying real and imagined experiences and events.

Goal:

Students create increasingly sophisticated texts and see themselves as empowered writers who choose form purposefully to deliver their content most effectively.

Teacher to Student…
“You will learn the power of using words to express what you think, to argue for what matters to you, and to help you think more clearly.”
