Description¶
The course followed a structured weekly sequence: introduction to academic and persuasive essays, thesis statement writing, outlining and introductions, grabbers, body paragraphs, conclusions, and finally peer feedback orientation. Students first engaged individually with materials on the 'Arwa' platform, then participated in synchronous live sessions, collaborative writing in Google Docs, and structured peer review. This reflects a deliberate progression from "initial exposure to persuasive essay components toward guided practice, collaborative drafting, peer review, and revision."
