Question 1

What will I learn in College Prep Composition?

Accepted Answer

In College Prep Composition, the student engages in a concentrated study of the writing process in expository writing and the art of rhetoric in persuasive writing. The student practices writing various types of essays and compositions to prepare for college-level writing. Models such as 6 Plus One!  Traits are used to help the student develop ideas, organization, voice, style, and fluency in written work, including revision and polishing work for publication. The student reads exemplary works by authors from around the world and creates traditional and/or electronic portfolios to show progress of work over time using technology as a learning, writing, and research tool.

In College Prep Composition, students write restaurant, music and art reviews, examine media and pop culture, and develop their individual voices while also generating their own topics to explore the world in which we live (as is true of many college composition courses). Students will enjoy many opportunities to develop reading and critical thinking skills as they employ standard usage in speaking and listening, research, and (of course) writing. As they choose, students may also write for contests and college scholarships. This course is offered in the fall semester in conjunction with Mythology and Folklore (22037) in the spring. Taken together, these two courses follow a college pattern and fulfill requirements for senior English, meeting or exceeding all Standards for Language Arts required by the State of New Mexico and APS.
