Developed to give students advanced skills,
such as recognizing and using persuasive language, writing reports, and
developing character in creative pieces.
Students will learn the process of giving others their thoughts in
written form through three areas: creative, research and reports, and
explanatory. Every exercise will guide them in the development of
communication skills they need.
Topics addressed in this one-year course include:
- Recognizing the three points of view writers use
- Describing what has been seen over a period of days and writing a scientific report
- Understanding the organization of an explanatory exposition
- Developing effective characters and conflict in creative writing
- Identifying common literary devices in the Bible
- Understanding why literary devices are used
A suggested schedule is provided, as well as worksheets that are
three-hole punched and perforated, and the addition of a reading and
literature component helps students look more deeply into the Bible and
other books they select.
