Fall Classes
(Closed: First Session Expository Essay; Foundations in Writing;
Advanced Composition)
Some of them register you, the parent, as the student, and some of them register your child as the student.
All of our classes are asynchronous--no set time to log in. Classes require no downloading of software, do not require video, and there is no additional material to purchase.
A quick plug for a less rigorous high school class:
If your teen is not quite ready for Kidswrite Intermediate or has already taken it, High School Writing Projects is a terrific writing opportunity.
Our instructor, Christine Gable, guides your teens in writing in combination with technological tools often used in student presentations in college! The student selects both topic and writing project (she gives a list of options, like Youtube script, Powerpoint, Squidoo lens). Then she guides your teen through the writing process so that by the end of the four week period, your teen could (conceivably) present the final project in front of a room!
