English 111x

In english 111x students marry two ways of thinking and write college level papers using Mr. Guthridge's formula. For example, O+O=Poor, O+N=Good, N+N=Great. The O's and N's represent new or old variables in a paper. Students use enthymemes to construct papers and keep their focus. Enthymemes consist of what because why statements. If that seems confusing don't feel bad it is to begining RAHI students as well, but by then end of the six weeks everything will make sense.

If you are going back to high school as a senior after RAHI, you can impress your teacher with your new knowledge of writing, studyskills, and focus. If your entering college as a freshman, you have a huge upperhand and some great expierence behind you to help make college easier and less stressful.

"In English 111x the main goal is to increase a students ability to write well and change ways of thinking. There are two types of thinking, syllogistic thinking is linear and orderly while situation thinking is precise. Situational thinking examines one part of a problem and syllogistic sees it abstractly. By marrying those ways of thinking students can write more effectively. We want to prepare students for writing college level papers." Mr. Guthridge
