1.0 credit, RequiredEnglish/Composition courses are designed for seniors and builds upon previous writing skills. Reinforcing the logic and critical-thinking skills that accompany good writing, these courses—which develop their ability to compose different types of papers for a range of purposes and audiences—enable students to explore and practice descriptive, narrative, persuasive, or expository styles of writing through short paragraphs, essays, letters, formal documented papers and some technical writing. English/Composition courses may emphasize college or business preparation; literature study may be offered as an additional component in which students analyze examples of several genres.
