Using brief facts and stories, students will learn how to create outlines and write from outlines. They will apply style techniques to their writing to encourage them to express their ideas creatively. Assignments will include paragraphs, short reports, stories, and writing from pictures.

Through clear, daily assignments, including vocabulary, grammar instruction and literature selections, the students will hone their writing techniques and strengthen their written communication skills.

Literature selections will challenge the students to read independently for comprehension.  A sprinkling of poetry memorization and recitation will complete this course.
