Introduction to class

“Callings” – Please get this book from the school office if you don’t have it yet

Introduction to term

Just as there are various ways of reading (for leisure, for finding a piece of information, on a test, etc.), there are also different ways of writing.

This term, you will:

  • practice different ways of writing (here’s an interesting list of examples)
  • get familiar with the structure of paragraphs and longer writing pieces
  • learn about the different kinds of essays studied for high school equivalency, and
  • prepare for your HiSET essay test.

If you plan on taking the GED instead of the HiSET, please let me know because preparation for this test is a little different.
