This class will focus on helping children who are at the age of eight years old understand some of the style guide formations that are traditionally accepted for college and university to improve their essay writing skills. The style guides which will be used are the American Psychological Association style guide (APA), as well as the Modern Languages Association (MLA) style guide. With time we will have in this class, the children in the class will have the opportunity to not only learn these style guides but also to have in-class and homework in order to write essays. The assessment process of the essay grading will be informal, however, will provide eight-year-old children with the same rigor as what would be expected of them in college or university, however, geared to a younger age group.
