# Original Thought and Essay Writing: Help for High School

## Rhetorical thinking and the fundamentals of essay writing

Help for High School teaches rhetorical thinking and essay writing skills necessary for high school and college academic writing. This is a self-directed program written directly to the teenager. What makes Help for High School unique among high school writing programs is our focus on rhetorical thinking: the ability to think deeply about the controversial nature of a topic and effectively inhabit multiple viewpoints before choosing the perspective they would like to write about. High School students learn how to think, argue, and create their own powerful writing style at the same time.
