| Description | This study group will focus on this question: "What makes writing good?" Everyone has written papers where everything is spelled right, but nonetheless the paper is not really great. What makes writing really good? This course will teach you. You will learn choose the right nouns and verbs and sentence forms so that what comes out on the page is vivid and interesting. Clear, vivid writing is just a style. You can learn to do it. We will write short personal essays in this group, and this will be good practice for the eventual college admission essay. |
