Expository Reading and Writing (10:50-11:50AM)

EXPOSITORY READING and WRITING

Entering Grades 9-12 – Expository reading and writing skills prepare students to excel on the reading and writing portions of standardized tests, while also developing lifelong literacy and college readiness. Students will look at reading as a process. While reading critically, students will learn to make predictions about difficult texts, analyze content and rhetorical structures, and use materials from texts to support their own written arguments. Readings will be enhanced through expository writing, most often through timed essays. Students will learn to organize ideas and construct persuasive arguments that further their own ideas using a developed voice.
