Advanced Analytical Writing
What it does...
Advanced Analytical Writing is designed to improve a student’s ability to construct a well-crafted argument and then transfer that argument to paper. This option delves into the importance of pre-writing and organizational focus before the genesis of an idea. It expands on the traditional five-paragraph essay and encourages students to integrate nuance and perspective into their writing. We explore different styles of writing and provide you with the foundation to select the best model to articulate your idea.
Timing
Typically running eight weeks, these sessions begin with the origin of an idea, continue with a focus on organization and research, before finishing up with drafting, revisions, and editing.
Structure
Planning Meeting – We begin by assessing you current writing process. Once we determine how you typically craft a piece of writing we build off your prior knowledge to enhance and reinforce your skill.
Pre-Tutoring Communication – Before the session, we will have a brief exchange via text or email about topic for discussion. There may be a brief writing exercise attached to the conversation to have something to discuss or to reinforce a technique.
Tutoring Session – We will spend the session learning about a particular facet of the writing process and then practicing the techniques associated with that part of the process.
