Research to Writing

These days it’s easy to confuse a sound argument with an opinion piece, a blog post, or lengthy Facebook comment. Students need to learn how to read a range of sources, evaluate arguments, and then take a position to defend intelligently, with nuance. Research is the grounding beneath good nonfiction writing. These classes have been updated to reflect the challenges of doing academic research online. Learn to vet a website, discern bias, and cite sources correctly. Help your teen “write not rant” this semester!
