College- level writing is a challenge for many college freshmen. The first assigned research paper can be a seemingly insurmountable barrier to success. The expectation will be that they know how to properly use in-text citations, to prepare bibliographies and have a basic grasp of writing process. The use of basic grammar and usage rules that are reflected in a college-level writing style will also be a given. The following three resources are extremely useful for preparing your student to be a confident writer.
OWL -The Purdue Online Writing Lab is one of the best college writing resources available on the web. There are APA and MLA formatting guides, mechanics/grammar practice exercises and even a full collection of materials specifically for writers in grades 7-12. There are also some very helpful vidcasts to add to your YouTube playlist. This website is a ‘must bookmark’ resource and deserves a dedicated hour of browsing.
A small buff-colored paperback entitled, The Elements of Style is often a part of the first set of textbooks a college freshman purchases. This classic reference book on usage and composition is available free online. It provides a good overview of the basic knowledge that college-level writers need. This would be excellent to use with a high school senior- these lessons created by a homeschooling parent to go with the book are excellent! (Scroll down to find the assignments.)

“While Moses was in the mount, God presented to him, not only the tables of the law, but also the plan of salvation. He saw that the sacrifice of Christ was pre-figured by all the types and symbols of the Jewish age; and it was the heavenly light streaming from Calvary, no less than the glory of the law of God, that shed such a radiance upon the face of Moses. That divine illumination symbolized the glory of the dispensation of which Moses was the visible mediator, a representative of the one true Intercessor.
The glory reflected in the countenance of Moses illustrates the blessings to be received by God’s commandment-keeping people through the mediation of Christ. It testifies that the closer our communion with God, and the clearer our knowledge of His requirements, the more fully shall we be conformed to the divine image, and the more readily do we become partakers of the divine nature.”
