    This course covers concepts prospective teachers should be proficient in to effectively teach general essay writing skills. This course will prepare you for the general essay writing exam for teachers by considering how grammar and syntax affect an essay, how to recognize context and make appropriate revisions, what strategies you can use to select and use details in your writing, and how to craft an essay with the help of a rubric.

    Throughout the course, we will address strategies for taking the writing exam to help you prepare. This course will help you expand your ability to identify strong writing techniques and use those techniques in your essay writing.

    This course is not intended to be your first exposure to, nor to teach, essay writing. This course gives an opportunity to practice and assess your grasp and mastery of standard middle- to high-school-level subject matter. Should you discover that you need to learn or relearn the concepts presented in this course, we recommend you take the ENGL002: English Composition II course before attempting a teacher licensing exam.
