ACES Writing Enrichment courses emphasize critical thinking, writing, and communication skills that are required to compose strong persuasive written pieces, focusing particularly on SAT and ACT timed writing essays as well as high school and college research papers. Beginning classes develop abilities to recognize different writing patterns and styles, understanding who their audience is and creating a main controlling idea with relevant supporting evidence. The latter courses place great importance on the persuasive essay, timed writings, research techniques, and learning how to write a college level MLA style paper. Students will develop their own personal style to facilitate confidence in writing and developing strong coherent ideas. Every course will include a review of grammar rules, pre-writing methods and editing procedures.
