5knights3maidens Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Is this good for a child (8th grade) that has done "reports" but nothing major, yet? He hasn't had a "writing" currriculum. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcurry Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I think so. It doesn't teach grammar, but it does teach some writing skills. You don't need prior writing experience to take this course. My 9th grade son got stuck on ideas, so hasn't moved past the 3rd week or so, but we're not in a hurry and he was doing other things. I'm going to put him on a schedule with it next year, though, because writing is something he is really interested in. The first half of the course is studying about novels- things like plot, characters, etc, and practicing coming up with your own characters & setting for your story. The second half is actually writing your own novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
