ABOUT THE PROGRAMExpository WritingExpository Writing enables students to write informative, explanatory, and descriptive writing including a research paper. All of the lessons guide the student through the writing process.
This is especially true of the research paper because it leads the student through the process from brainstorming topics to taking notes, documenting sources, writing the introduction, body, and conclusion, and presentation of the final project. A scoring guide accompanies each lesson designed specifically to address the skills taught in each lesson. Because the lessons are all student directed they feel empowered and become much more successful at writing.
Creative WritingCreative Writing is an effective, fun, and interesting one year writing program that has been used with students from 8 to 16. With this program students learn to brainstorm ideas, break their writing into paragraphs, edit and publish. They use a scoring guide to incorporate the six writing traits, format their papers, and as a reference for completing a quality piece of writing. An art component is included with each of the thirty-two lessons. The Daily DazzleThe Daily Dazzle is a five to fifteen minute bell exercise program available in five levels.
