Literary Analysis 101
One-on-one tutoring with an Associate Tutor
This course equips rising 9th, 10th, and 11th graders with skills for success in their high school English and history classes—and wherever else analytical writing is required. Graduating from the realm of “middle school thinking” (observation, simple summary, and plot description), young writers often experience significant cognitive demands when asked to perform “high school thinking” (critical analysis, interpretation, and argument). In each of the eight hours of live instruction, students will read and discuss short stories and essays, strengthen annotation strategies, and implement a proven framework for analytical paragraphing. Receiving professional editing in the form of one-on-one conferencing and written feedback, students will emerge from the course confident in their ability to compose compelling analytical paragraphs.
