Composition •
7th / 8th Grade
This class uses "Institute for Excellence in Writing: Structure and Style,” teaching methods for writing, which are similar to methods one might use to teach music, art, or even sports. Students begin by analyzing and imitating existing good writing. Then through a series of incremental steps, they develop the ability to write their own original compositions.
