between life and literary experience. By writing frequently and

of their own and others' writing processes and develop the ability
to analyze and evaluate writing. Language study includes tracing
linguistic development, studying etymology, and expanding verbal
fluency. Students analyze various forms of media to determine the
impact of persuasive language. Through practice in small and large
groups, as well as practice in oral presentations, they organize,
communicate, and evaluate ideas logically and creatively. (This
