=Welcome to Professional Reading and Writing! =

===Professional Reading and Writing is offered to high school seniors who are more interested in learning communications and presentation skills that will benefit them in whichever profession they may want to pursue. Although the class is designed as a non-literature English class, that by no means indicates that students won't be reading - they will. However, in the place of literature, reading assignments will focus more on non-fiction, profession-based articles, as well as excerpts from the textbook and other professional publications. ===

===In addition to learning professional writing styles and genres, Pro Writing students will also work on their presentation and publication skills. Group work and service learning will also play important parts in our school year; groups will choose a focus and create a component of a class service project. Students will learn group dynamics, problem solving skills, documentation, and follow through while they serve members of our Olympus community. ===

===As your teacher, I am very excited that you have joined me in developing this new course. With all of us working toward this goal, I think we can develop Professional Reading and Writing into an enjoyable, creative, and productive addition to the school's offerings for senior English. ===
