English 3 Confident Composition

The "English 3 Confident Composition" online course is designed to help students improve their writing skills, with a focus on analyzing, writing, and revising. The course covers various forms of writing and teaches students how to research and critique sources, analyze information, and form persuasive arguments. It also covers sentence fluency and vocabulary to help students develop a meaningful writing style. The course does not include a formal study of novels, making it ideal for students who want to focus primarily on writing while pursuing literature separately. This course is recommended for students who are well-read but struggle with forming effective claims and need to expand their writing techniques.

This course is suitable for students who wish to build confidence in their writing skills, students who are starting late in high school, or students who are taking a separate literature course without thorough writing instruction. For a complete English Language Arts course, TPS offers a corresponding Lit and Comp course instead of this course. Students who want to get an additional boost in writing improvement before this course are encouraged to take TPS "Writing for Early High School" in the summer before this course.
