Instructor: Candace Rydell Writing with Skill Level 2 walks students through a comprehensive and systematic approach to writing composition. Study skills necessary for academic success include summarizing, outlining, and note taking. Students also practice writing patterns targeted to history, science and literature, which prepares learners to write across the curriculum. Detailed instruction in narration and sequences, comparisons, introductions and conclusions, and finding topics helps further the students’ writing aptitude. Learners progress by learning how to critically assess prose and poetry, conduct valid research, and draft a final project. Training in independent learning, effective writing and critical thinking are objectives for WWS Level 2. Co-op time together will focus on the weekly lesson targets, with heavy emphasis on student interaction sharing ideas and constructive feedback. Rubrics will be provided for feedback on student compositions. Letter grades will be assigned if requested by parents in advance.
