Writing
Students will learn the Structure and Style of writing. As they move through various themes and subjects, they incrementally introduce and review the models of structure and elements of style found in the Institute for Excellence in Writing’s “Teaching Writing: Structure and Style.” While incorporating dress-ups, decorations, vocabulary, and the mechanics into their writing, they will also learn basic public speaking skills.
