Description
Covering analysis and interpretation, this volume has 80 lessons. As with Volume 1, the student text reads in a very engaging way. The topics prod you to think! They encourage the writer to always consider the audience and purpose. You will have to resource some materials to use such as magazines, blogs, sermons, ads, song lyrics and such, but how you do this is up to your family. I feel like this course could be called "the evolution of a writer." The variety of assignments is vast and creative, as well as modern. Some will involve familiarity with texting and the internet. This would be an amazing course in a group setting as well as for an independent student. The topics are just so engaging, your student will definitely want to talk about them! The teacher edition provides guidance rather than answers. Two schedules in the back show lessons either 2x or 5x a week. Grading rubrics in the back enable instructors to provide feedback. ~Sara
