Mom28kds Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I'm looking for a writing program that would be easy to pull off long distance. I'm not good a writing but I have a daughter that lives out of state that writes beautifully. I'm looking for something that could guide her with some structure to teach my DS (10th grade). She can facetime and share a google docs for the writing assignments. Some of the books I've seen seem like it wouldn't work on the day to day assignments. Any suggestions?

MamaSprout Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Often in 10th grade, students are writing across literature and history rather than learning to write. Does your DS write essays and such already? Is there a particular area he needs to improve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom28kds Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Yes, he could use help with the different forms of writing before we move to literature and history based. Would you have suggestions for writing across literature and history that could give her some structure to work off of. Like I said she's a great writer just needs direction.

EKS Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 How about one of the freshman composition texts? I like The Allyn & Bacon Guide to Writing, but there are tons of others as well. Another book for the teacher would be Engaging Ideas. 15 minutes ago, Mom28kds said: Like I said she's a great writer just needs direction. Note that knowing how to write and being able to teach writing effectively are two different things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Maybe Jensen's? https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/064441/Jensens-Format-Writing-Package.html? It's a little dry, but straightforward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Lively Art of Writing + FREE work pages made by WTMers Secular. Focus is just on essay-writing.Power in Your Hands (and teacher guide) Christian. Can be done largely solo, which would make long-distance oversight easier. Covers a variety of writing topics -- essays of several types; research paper; business types of writing; etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
