Meridian Note
Style is KS-8 made into a subject — the ELA twin of the proof year at MATH 85. Grammar takes its terminal fix at KS-8: parallel structure, semicolon logic, voice and mood deployed and defended, syntax analyzed as rhetorical choice, the draft edited to a style manual. Every text is dissected, its claims named, its evidence weighed, its arrangement and appeals laid bare, with the oral defense of the rhetorical-analysis essay as the signature instrument of the year.
