Description

Class Experience

This semester long language arts class serves to give students experience writing and reading in multiple genres. It can be easy for students to think of themselves as "fantasy readers" or "fiction writers" only! In this class we'll learn about writing an effective persuasive essay, a gripping work of fiction, and how to turn our day-to-day life into an interesting narrative. We'll also discuss why certain genres of books attract (or don't attract) us, explore common threads throughout...

Each week there is a significant amount of reading homework, and every three weeks a significant amount of writing homework. Please be sure this workload is feasible for your learner!

We will read the following books, which are available to purchase at most bookstores or in ebook format. I encourage students to get the actual hard copies if possible so they they might highlight and make notes inside!

The War that Saved my Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley (historical fiction)
The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill (high fantasy)
The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart (realistic fiction)

Each student will receive text feedback on their writing pieces. Additionally, students can receive a grade upon request.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
