“The College Prep Research Paper course is to me an excellent introduction for upper middle school and early high school students especially. For one thing, the emphasis is on prewriting skills and strategies that most kids don’t get enough instruction for. What I generally notice is that teachers are so consumed with the end “product” that they totally forget that students desperately need instruction in logical organized ways to get to that end product (this is a personal pet peeve for me). However, you provide that instruction beautifully. I personally thank you for that! I also love the Formatting section. I think that is an area that is often brushed over in vague ways. Again, your emphasis on explain – model – students try it out – review is just what these young writers need.” (Mary Osborne, 2024, 40-year public school education veteran and staff developer)
