This course provides a systematic development of writing skills through both guided writing and a variety of free compositions. Structural and functional use of English will be incorporated throughout and will be reinforced through reading, listening and speaking activities. Students will be expected to master the correct use of all tenses, compound and complex sentences, conditionals, gerunds and infinitives, complex punctuation, prepositional use and transition devices. The course may not be taken concurrently with English 11 as it is considered a prerequisite for English 11.
