Introduction

 The study of writing allows high school students to earn one-half to one credit while developing skills necessary for composing business letters and requests for information, as well as for completing job applications and resumés. This course emphasizes skill in the use of conventions and mechanics of written English, the appropriate and effective application of English grammar, and the effective use of vocabulary. Students are expected to understand the recursive nature of the writing process. Evaluation of students' own writing as well as the writing of others insures that students completing this course are able to analyze and evaluate their writing. For high school students whose first language is not English, the students' native language serves as a foundation for English language acquisition and language learning.
