Welcome to Roosevelt High School and Drake University's "Exchange Through Writing" Page. In the left column, Drake students participating in Swilky's 171 are listed, clicking on each student's name will direct you to the Roosevelt student's writing.

The writing text book used in Advanced Placement Language and Composition can be found here: [|Successful College Writin][|g]. The three formal writing assignments build upon each other, starting with a definition essay and then a classification/division essay; students will use these to inform a final persuasive argument.

Throughout the course of the semester, Drake and Roosevelt students will be working together on these assignments to learn how an exchange of ideas about writing improve our understanding about communicating with written language. media type="custom" key="7894807" align="center"
