Prerequisite: English II or English III

Composition is an elective course designed for any junior or senior who plans to attend a four-year university or for any student who wishes to elevate his/her composition skills to a higher level. Course content is similar to what students will be required to take in freshman English courses at a university. Students will write a college admissions essay, narrative essay, compare and contrast essay, and persuasive essay. Students will read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and write a literary analysis essay on it. Students who successfully complete Composition will have a greater chance of testing out of one of the required English courses in college.
