Help for High School teaches teens how to think, argue, and create their own powerful writing style at the same time.

Your teen will build the following skills:

• developing a command of language
• creating a supported argument
• fostering a rhetorical imagination
• comparing and contrasting viewpoints
• discovering the role of narrative writing in academic formats
• understanding the difference between exploratory and expository essay forms
• writing thesis statements
• identifying points and particulars

• paraphrasing versus quoting experts
• understanding viewpoint, bias, perspective, and facts
• creating in-line citations and works cited
