Description: Does your child enjoy a good bedtime story? Is your child captured by the plot of a quality movie? This writing class not only celebrates your child's appreciation of a "good story”, but it also helps students who struggle with writing and need excellent grammar work. Students learn to organize and produce creative literary pieces such as the following: poems, weekly journal responses, short stories, reports, a one-act play, historical fiction, and other writing assignments. We have also designed this course to improve sentence structure, grammar, and diction through writing assignments and the incorporation of some grammar basics. Grammar skills will be sharpened through weekly instruction and assignments using portions of the workbook. Parents will grade their students' weekly grammar workbook assignments so the student gets immediate feedback on their progress. We make grammar and writing fun!
