Freshman Workshop: Reading & Writing Week 1

These sessions will strengthen the writing skills necessary for interdisciplinary success at the high school level. Students will work collaboratively to enhance their understanding of the components of effective argumentation through close examination of the stages of the writing process. Participants will strategically brainstorm, develop theses, build text-based claims, and outline long-form arguments. Strategies for active reading approaches to giving & receiving peer feedback and strategies for oral communication will also be addressed.
