When a student completes a section of the course, the teacher will unlock the next section for the student to proceed. This ensures that students follow the correct pathway through the materials. While you are welcome to email the teacher at any time, responses and/or unlocking new sections should only be expected during office hours. Any response outside those hours is a courtesy, but not guaranteed.

Syllabus: LINK (Coming Soon) Course Description:

In Expository Writing, students delve into the power and potential of the English language. Reading and writing assignments explore relevant and universal themes, including war, human rights, cultural awareness, and humans' relationships with the environment, the media, and technology. By reading and evaluating seminal speeches, essays, and stories, students learn how writing is used to explain, persuade, and entertain. Students develop and practice expressing their own ideas in four types of essays: compare/contrast, persuasive, evaluative, and explanatory. Additional assignments will focus on narrative writing, research projects, and speeches.
