Students will delve deeper into specific writing genres, such as critique, allegory, persuasion, and tragedy, and continue to hone their writing abilities in preparation for any post-secondary choices. In this high school level writing course, the writing study will be enriched by pertinent selections for discussion from classic literature. This course includes a weekly private tutorial time in addition to the weekly assignment.
Extra private 30 minute tutorials are available upon request. (Cost: $25/tutorial)
