Raise Your Voice: Learn to Write Successfully for College and Beyond

This course prepares students to use writing as a tool for understanding and analyzing the world and for making arguments about ideas. Through a series of increasingly complex writing challenges, culminating in an extended essay, students will engage in college-level coursework in the humanities and social sciences. Students will read and parse across several genres, learning academic style, tone, and structure, with attention to their purposes. They will develop their voices and skills as creatively analytical academic writers.
