Through Forum’s 2-week analytical writing workshop, rising 7th and 8th grade students will work with representative and engaging grade-level texts to write their own analytical pieces, beginning first with a single analytical paragraph and ultimately progressing to a multi-paragraph analytical essay.

The course’s daily practice will push students to be critical and careful readers who note nuance and who can point to what is “lurking” beneath the words. From there, students will learn to craft original, compelling claims that they support with well-selected evidence and well-developed analysis, building critical skills for a strong writing foundation in advance of challenging high school writing expectations.

Students will learn how to:

Read a text critically for meaning, symbols, and themes
Become skillful annotators
Marshal the evidence they’ve found to build a strong argument
Break down complicated essay prompts and make them easy to understand
Craft a clear and thoughtful thesis statement, then back it up with concrete examples
Get a sense of what their teachers will be looking for in an essay, and how to read and revise their work with that in mind
