**Previous class required** Before enrolling in this class, please make sure that your learner has taken my class "Warriors Book Club: A Dangerous Path." I will be checking enrollments to ensure all enrolled students have fulfilled this requirement. This class is the sixth in a series of six classes covering the first Warriors series and completing a creative writing project. Throughout the six classes, students will read the first six Warriors books, engage in discussion about the books with their peers, and learn creative writing through project assignments. If they take each class covering the Warriors books, students will come to the end of book six having planned, outlined, and written their own short book. In this way, all six classes together function as a literature and creative writing course.

The adventure continues in The Darkest Hour by Erin Hunter! Now that we have read book five of the Warriors series together, it's time to read book six. Learners will also revise the stories they have written in previous classes. We will follow a pattern of two weeks of book discussion, one week of sharing writing projects. The chapters they revision will be the completion of the projects they have been working on over the last five classes. By the end of this class, learners will have completed the first revision of the stories they have been working on.

**OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY CLASS RECOMMENDATION** Each week, I host a creative writing round table for aspiring writers. As part of this round table, I offer personalized written feedback on one writing piece per student per week (provided they submit the piece 24 hours before each week's round table). If your learner would like more feedback on their chapters beyond what I can provide in this class, I recommend they join this weekly round table. I also have a one-on-one writing mentorship available if your learner would like even more personalized assistance with their writing. Both classes can be found on my teacher profile under my available classes.
