Being able to write well is slowly becoming a lost art. Your child’s writing, however, does not have to suffer this fate. SchoolhouseTeachers.com has numerous writing courses available for all grades. Writing with Janice Campbell is a course for upper elementary through high school students in which they study a chosen passage, absorb it, analyze it, transform it, and then create their own work. There are more than a dozen units available, and they can be accessed at any time. Writing – Compare/Contrast with Sharon Watson is a 10-week mini-course geared toward middle and high school students. They will learn how to effectively compare and contrast in sentences and paragraphs and in fiction. They will practice dovetailing and using the block method and the feature method. At the end of the course, they will put together all of the concepts and write a compare and contrast essay.
