Homeschool for the 21st Century

Intermediate Composition

Intermediate Composition acts as a bridge between English IV and Advanced Composition. A great deal of growth takes place from 8th-10th grade, and we want students to have that nurturing time to develop prior to moving on to higher levels. Students will benefit from the continued review, reinforcement, and practice of essay forms and stylistic guidelines. Students will practice several pre-writing strategies to help discern what to write. Students will cover the basics of several essay forms (MLA, APA, and Chicago styles) and will continue to practice advanced grammar and punctuation as they perfect their composition skills. Grades 8th to 10th
