Summer reading and writing workshops for 9th Grade

Holland Hall offers a unique summer opportunity for incoming freshmen to help them complete their summer reading and writing requirements.

The summer Reading Workshop “focuses on enhancing the analytical reading skills and abstract thinking skills that are expected of Holland Hall students in their first semester of upper-school English. Particular focus will be placed on an in depth exploration of the assigned summer reading and effective annotating, with secondary focus on writing argumentative assertions. This course is a great way to go into the school year with a strong understanding of the summer reading text(s)."

The writing workshop “focuses entirely on helping students enhance and practice their skills in academic essay writing. It covers the structure and organization of argumentative essays, generating and drafting successful thesis statements and topic sentences, incorporating outside sources into arguments, incorporating transitions between ideas, crafting effective introductions and conclusions. A computer is highly recommended.”

The sessions are $250 each.
