In this three-week course, your student will complete daily writing drills based around John Steinbeck’s short novel The Pearl (1945). During the first two weeks, your student will read the book and build skills at the sentence- and paragraph-levels. During the second and third weeks, he or she will construct and write an analytical essay with our curriculum as a guide. By following our basic instructions, your student will progress easily from the thesis-statement to the outline to the final draft.
