Effective writing begins with confidence and implementing a systematic approach to compose cohesive and well-thought-out essays. People often feel that they are not "good at writing." This usually boils down to a few key causes. One, people feel that they do not have a clear idea of where to start or what to say in their essays. Two, some people feel that they have great ideas, but they do not know how to transfer their thoughts from their heads to paper. Lastly, people who feel they are not good writers, lack a system or methodology to expressing their ideas concisely, clearly, and effectively to their readers.
In this compelling course, students will learn how to write well-thought-out essays no matter what the prompt or assignment might be. The writing process will be conveyed and understood in its four phases: brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and editing.
A step-by-step approach to essay writing
As this program focuses on instilling confidence and lasting change, students will learn how to generate great ideas, select their best ideas, create an outline as a guide, draft their essays, and formally edit their papers. Each of these phases transforms the murky waters of writing into a beautiful oasis of ideas being expressed effectively and persuasively.
Students will learn how to make writing an essay fun and engaging. The course reviews the four main essay writing concepts. The first section of the course discussed the idea generation and brainstorming phase of writing an essay. This will include discussing brainstorming techniques such as listing, freewriting, and mind mapping. Next, the course will educate students on how to create and implement an outline as a guide for their essays. Students will learn how to effectively form and draft their essays in the third section of this course. Some concepts covered will include body paragraph structure and writing effective sentences. Lastly, this course will cover the editing phase of the writing process in the fourth section. There will be materials to convey each concept in addition to practice prompts where students will actively engage in each phase to effectively learn each concept to apply this to future essays.
