Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Bruce McMenomy
Starts: September 6, 2010
Ends: June 3, 2011
Thursday 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM ET

This course builds on the lessons learned in Writing for the College-bound, but takes students to a higher level of skill and refinement in writing. The class focuses on research and academic writing, writing for publication (magazines, journals), and writing in an area of the student's choice such as various forms of fiction, poetry, technical writing, scientific writing, journalism, or creative non-fiction. This year we might also participate in National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/). Recommended background
Students must have taken Writing for the College-bound, have taken an equivalent course, or have equivalent writing experience. It is also highly recommended that students take Rhetoric, Grammar, and Style before or concurrently with this course, or at least plan to take an equivalent course before entering college.
Teacher's notes:
Students are encouraged to use writing topics based on other courses. Students may repeat this course as desired.
