Composition II - The focus of this course is expository writing, and development of a strong essay will be our focus. Students will write on a variety of topics and will learn to write strong thesis statements and present examples in support of their positions. We will finish the course with a focus on the personal essay, which will be helpful in scholarship applications and college admissions.  This course is geared toward students who have been exposed to formal essay writing and who are ready to hone their advanced writing skills such as using transitions, improving word choice, writing clearly and concisely, and employing a variety of sentence structures.  Important grammar skills will be covered (with a focus on skills commonly tested on the SAT) and put to use in weekly writing assignments.  Composition I is not a prerequisite of Composition II, but any students who have not taken Composition I will be asked to submit a writing sample to assess readiness.
