Academic Writing for Natural Writers


Recommended Posts

DD#2 is a profoundly gifted creative writer.  She's been taught & mentored by the same creative writing teacher for the past 4 years.  We'll continue that, of course.  However, Homefry does need to learn how to tackle less fun writing tasks:  personal essays, research reports, etc.   I'd like to find a structured program for her that's complete, open and go, and will prepare her well for college writing.  What do you suggest?

I've enjoyed using The Power in Your Hands by Sharon Watson. It's written in a conversational style to the student and instructions and assignments are clearly laid out. The teacher's guide includes a  suggested schedule, assignments and a grading rubric for each chapter.  You can get a sample here:
