Compass Prep

The focus of this composition course is on the four modes of writing – narration, description, persuasion, and exposition. We will focus on content and structure and cover some general grammar skills. Writing assignments vary in length and format, but we will finish the course with a focus on the five-paragraph essay.  This course is foundational for building confidence and preparing for advanced composition.  The assignments are a great mix of creative pieces and academic ones, each with a specific purpose.  Students receive in-depth, individualized feedback during all steps of the writing process, and the focus is on improvement from one step to the next.  

This course pairs well with World Literature.
