Overview
These classes can be just a writing class with instruction, practice, individualized help, and assignments, OR a combination of writing AND literature studies using readers set in each particular subject matter or time period, OR just as a literature class alone. The literature component would focus on character development, plot development, and basic writing techniques used by the authors, with grade-appropriate activities.
These classes are primarily offered online, although in-person classes can be arranged when needed.
