Course Description:
No more staring at a blank paper! Using appealing classic literature along with IEW's text Fables, Myths, & Fairytales, students learn a systematic approach to writing. Checklists provide objectivity for a study that is often considered subjective, so students are not left floundering and wondering what their paper is supposed to contain. Participants learn note-taking, how to summarize stories and references, create a story from a picture, and compose their own tales. They learn that writing is a process that includes editing and revision. New techniques are learned in bite-sized pieces and children progress from being inexperienced writers, to writing with pleasure and confidence.
