Tutor – Nichole Poe
In this junior high-level class, students will study the basics of how the English language works. The course will build upon prior knowledge of grammar, sentence structure, mechanics, punctuation, and usage. Students will also learn to express their ideas in a variety of activities and assignments, including pre-writing skills, opinion, persuasion, exposition, description, narration, and even poetry. We will read two books together as a class to gain experience in responding critically to literature. The goal of the course is that students will be able to identify and use the elements of English while building confidence in their writing!
