Writing Power has been a huge help in polishing my writing skills! It solidifies the basics and teaches new concepts in an easy way to grasp. Writing Power covered a vast number of subjects: from what a “noun” is to diagramming compound-complex sentences. I even gained a newfound admiration for diagramming! If grammar is not an easy concept for you, this is the class!

I loved this class. I loved how thorough my teacher was and how thoughtful she was. She made me feel like she actually cared for my success. She gave me constructive feedback, nice commentary, and thorough emails. If you had a question or concern she would be very quick in responding back . She gives us a variety for extra credit and host weekly interactive classes that feel like your just hanging out with your friends. She made writing fun. She has strengthened my writing skills in so many ways. She chose great books that you can truly learn from. Overall, this has to be the best writing class I’ve ever had.

This class has been amazing and helpful! I was skeptical at first, but have enjoyed the entire semester. I am sad to go. I had been struggling with comma splicing and grammar, but now I am doing a lot better. I see improvement throughout the semester. My first paper versus my last was a big difference. Mrs. Burnette is the best teacher ever, and I’m not saying that just to be nice or to make her feel better. I mean it! You could not have a better grammar and/or writing teacher. Love you, Mrs. Burnette!!! <3 <3

I have made more progress with Mrs. Burnette in two years than I have in any other year of my schooling! I really enjoyed this class. I learned so much in just one semester, and I can see clear improvement! I love that every class begins with a Bible verse and prayer and ends with kahoot. Kahoot is one of many ways one can get extra credit if only you reach out! Mrs. Burnette is not only incredibly knowledgeable of the English language but also knowledgeable of how to make young people understand it! I would highly recommend this class. Even if you don’t feel like you’re struggling, I promise there’s room for you to add to that understanding!

This class has improved my writing tremendously. While helping me write clearer sentences, Writing Power also helped me develop my points. I would definitely recommend the teacher. This year I learned how to write my papers without a point-by-point guide. Last year in her class, Building Confident Writers, Mrs. Burnette taught us to answer questions to build our papers. I would definitely recommend that class too. This is my second year with Mrs. Burnette. She is overly considerate… Mrs. Burnette also helps students with their homework if needed. Before starting class, she always reads a scripture verse and prays for her students. She doesn’t overload us with homework. This year we turned in three\/four homework assignments every week. The homework is due the day before the next class. Prior to starting classes, you should order the necessary books for this course. Mrs. Brunette has more than one course, so check them out.

Hello Friends! I am one of the students from this class – Writing Power by Mrs. Burnette.

First of all, Excelsior is an amazing program to sign up for. Personally, though I understand that there are also a plethora of other amazing courses, this one, for me, has been by far, the best. Excelsior offers a diverse variety of classes with some of the most outstanding, Biblical-teaching instructors who enforce Biblical principles as well as encouraging, but faith-challenging words that any student will experience every week. In addition, there are even clubs and fun social events for any age to experience. From Bible classes or fun trivia to an online school lock-in event, students couldn’t possibly not be having fun. It’s absolutely amazing! I realized I really love this course after a year of making close connections not only with the teachers, but also with the students that I am surrounded with. I even met an online student in person once! However, don’t get me wrong, even though Excelsior offers some of the most amazing experiences a student could ever experience, the teachers offer challenging courses with clear and simple instruction in the Excelsior classes as well as in the week-to-week homework assignments.

Secondly, this class, Writing Power with Mrs. Burnette, has literally upgraded my writing skills above and beyond what I thought she could. Mrs. Burnette is certainly one of my favorite teachers for so many reasons including: how kind and caring she is to all of the students, how she encourages writing skill as well as a closer relationship with God, how she includes a touch of humor and fun every week, and so much more. This is my second year with Excelsior and, even though Mrs. Burnette is a one-of-a-kind English teacher, all of the teachers, hands down, are absolutely amazing. In every class, there is also a discussion every week in Excelsior to chat with the other students. Also, of course, with parental permission, we could even exchange emails! I am so grateful I got to experience that, especially, when the teachers encourage godly goals as well as friendships. Frankly, to put it lightly, Mrs. Burnette has truthfully encouraged me to be a greater student striving after God’s glory and I know that that makes Him proud :). Thank you, Mrs. Burnette (for all of your hard work)!!!

P.S. Honestly, it’s hard not to love this program lol.
