Professional Writing for High School and Beyond

This class will guide you through essential techniques for creating and preparing documents that you may encounter in your future careers and practical life. Each day will focus on different real-world writing tasks such as resume and cover letters, email etiquette, STEAM writing, personal statements, and understanding responsible usage of AI across disciplines and while writing.

Students will explore writing across disciplines through interactive writing tasks in order to develop a strong understanding of the power of written communication. Students will leave with a broad exploration of practical writing, and a writing portfolio with templates and examples which they can refer to and utilize as they embark on their journey through and beyond high school.   

Through a mix of lectures, discussions, and workshops, you’ll learn to ask questions, deconstruct tasks, brainstorm effectively, and explore what subject areas interest you the most. No matter what you choose to do in life, it will involve writing!
