bluebonnetgirl Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Looking for a solid live online English class with step by step explicit writing instructions and lots of feedback to shore up writing in 10th grade in preparation for the SAT in 11th. I’m still seeing sloppy sentences and disorganized essays in 9th and feel a need for a tightly regulated writing class with a lot of hand holding and explicit feedback. Any recommendations? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Are you talking about for this year or for starting in the fall of 2018? Have you looked at IEW? They don't have next year's schedule out but here is a list of classes they offered for this year. http://iew.com/events-classes/online-classes Also, Open Tent Academy offers writing classes with a lot of support and systematic instruction and feedback. Currently they only have the Winter classes listed I believe (January to April 2018). I don't know when they will release the Fall 2018/Winter 2019 schedule. http://www.opententacademy.com/courses/?cat=writing There are others. You might check out some of the reviews on this thread regarding writing courses since a few reviews have been updated... http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/638806-master-list-of-on-line-classes/ Edited December 6, 2017 by OneStepAtATime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebonnetgirl Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 I mean for next year. Off to look at your suggestions. Thanks so much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I’ve been looking at different online writing classes for my son next year (he will be in ninth grade). I have not used these, but they are my top considerations. Hope this helps you too. http://www.fortuigence.com/Fortuigence/SP/EssayRockStar/ www.currclick.com - IEW Writing (look under live classes and the instructor is “Stylistic Scribeâ€). I’ve been emailing her about fall classes and she is helpful and kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourisenough Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Integritas Academy with Cindy Lange. Expensive, but the best online class we’ve ever taken! She’s offering a new class for next year: Honors Lit & Comp 2. I’m sure she would be happy to help you with placement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebonnetgirl Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Four is enough, Was it Literature and Compostion - Year I that your child took? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebonnetgirl Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 mytwomonkeys, Thank you for your suggestions. Are these both live instruction classes? I would kind of prefer that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The currclick is live and recorded (so if you miss the live class, you can still watch it). I believe Essay Rock Star is recorded, but you have total access to a teacher available for assignment review, questions, grading, etc. So there is still guidance and hand holding.

fourisenough Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Four is enough, Was it Literature and Compostion - Year I that your child took? Thanks! DD13 is taking Intro to Persuasive Writing Through Literature this year. She'll take Lit & Comp Year 1 next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
