Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise

Purposeful and Transparent Students want to improve their writing in preparation for transitioning to college. Many have used persuasion in their writing, but need to strengthen the skills of argument in order to convince their audience that their ideas are valid. Contextual Students will be asked to write and respond to persuasive essays and give speeches during their college courses. Building Expertise Students will practice using ethos, pathos and logos as a means to improve their rhetorical skills.
