| Description: | Writing is not merely an academic task—it is the process of discovering one's own voice. This course invites students to step into the role of a writer, with a belief that writing should be a joyful, low-stress, and deeply personal practice. By applying the foundational principles of Brave Writer, we move away from formulaic "school-at-home" assignments and toward authentic expression.
In this workshop, students will explore the "magic" of great literature through high-quality "living books" to teach mechanics, grammar, and literary analysis in a meaningful, non-punitive context. Rather than deconstructing literature until it loses its appeal, we look at how authors build worlds and construct arguments, using these examples as a springboard for our own creative writing.
What Students Will Gain:
Literary Appreciation: Engage with texts that inspire curiosity and discussion.
Writing Fluency: A steady increase in confidence through the practice of freewriting, descriptive observation, and developmental editing.
A "Brave" Perspective: A mindset shift where writing is a way to engage with the world, not a hurdle to overcome.
Instructor Note for Parents
Bogart's Brave Writer programs are well known for being light on spelling, grammar, and punctuation, so this class will add customized help addressing these elements where your student needs the help the most. |
