“What Courses Should My Student Take?” -- To help determine the best writing courses for your students(s), please go to the Table of Contents at the front of this catalog and view the “Aquinas Writing Advantage Scope and Sequence.” -- You may also take the Aquinas Writing Advantage Writing Evaluations found on the website at https://homeschoolconnectionsonline.com/writing-evaluations. -- For personal assistance, feel free to email homeschoolconnections@gmail.com at any time. -- Choose from five scheduled time slots to take this course during the Spring Semester. -- This is Part Two of a two-part course and a continuation of the 9-Level Series Courses. Take the Essentials 2 and Simplified 2 courses together this semester, to receive one full semester of credit (14 weeks of classes). Total Classes: 6 Class Dates and Starting Times: Mondays, 11:30 AM Eastern (10:30 Central; 9:30 Mountain; 8:30 Pacific) January 6 to February 10, 2020 Duration: 55 minutes Prerequisite: Required: High School Simplified Writing 1: Strong Foundational Writing Skills (HS 9-2). Exceptions are granted only with written permission from the instructor or a passing assessment from the Aquinas Writing Advantage writing evaluation (https://homeschoolconnectionsonline.com/writing-evaluations). Suggested Grade Level: 9th grade; however, all students are welcome if they have the prerequisite. Suggested Credit: ½ semester Writing or English. Combine with High School Simplified Writing 1 for a full semester credit. Fee: $99 on or before November 15, 2019. $119 after Nov. 15 for all 6 classes. ($139 after December 28) Instructors: Lisa Mladinich Course Description: This is an essential writing course for all high school students! Make sure you have the critical high school writing foundations in place for writing well-crafted sentences and paragraphs—including the absolute “must-have” knowledge, review, and practice for the use of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and prepositional phrases, and compound sentence structures, as well as transitions and connectives, the use of quoted material, summary, and paraphrase. Even if your student has learned foundational concepts before, the approach in this class is to use high school vocabulary and structures that are more complex – for exactly what’s needed for upper-level writing. From mastering the details that are holding your student back from writing well to providing much-needed practice, help your student perfect his or her essential tools for high school writing. Course Outline:
Course Materials: All materials are provided FREE in the course. Your student will need Word 2007 or later version or the ability to convert a document to a Word-compatible document. Email us if you need assistance. Homework: Estimated three to five hours per week for homework outside of class time, depending on the student’s ability. Writing assignments graded by the instructor.
