Fluency in any language includes reading, speaking, and writing with skill and ease. Mastery of the English language begins with a strong foundation in the parts of speech and continues developing through grammar exercises and writing assignments. Students taking this course will receive a foundational knowledge of the parts of speech and a relational understanding of the function of each part. Students will learn to build strong sentences and develop strategies to organize their thoughts into paragraphs and essays. Study of literature (Redwall and In Freedom's Cause) and poetry will help ignite creative expression in the students' writing. Working with vocabulary, grammar, exciting stories, and beautiful poetry will give students fluency with finesse. Click here for the course overview.

Students practice with more advanced compositional techniques, including supporting a thesis, organizing information, and writing with style and vivid description. Instructors introduce critical thinking skills through student assessment of personal writing and analyzing classic literature.
