Does your teen love to write stories? Does he or she want to be a positive Christian influence in the world through fiction? WRITING FICTION [IN HIGH SCHOOL] is written to the student in a conversational tone and requires only minimal parental/teacher guidance. It's packed with literally hundreds of age-appropriate, real-fiction examples from classics, best-sellers, and movies so students can learn how to write their own intriguing short stories or novels. Your students will study and practice essential elements of story writing: an empathetic protagonist, effective dialog, voice, characterization, scenes, plots, the hero's journey, and much more. In addition, they'll discuss important ideas about fiction in their groups formed from class members, co-op classes, or friends. WRITING FICTION [IN HIGH SCHOOL] refers to The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick (sold separately) in many of its chapters. Sharon Watson recommends purchasing that book and using it with the textbook so students can more easily see how a complete novel and its elements work. An optional manuscript track is included in the course; this way, students who have written a short story or novel manuscript can work on it. Prerequisites: none. Be sure to grab WRITING FICTION [IN HIGH SCHOOL]: TEACHER'S GUIDE, a practical guide that contains an answer key, along with books or movies needed for each chapter. WRITING FICTION [IN HIGH SCHOOL] is written by Sharon Watson, author of the popular middle school composition curriculum JUMP IN, and is specially designed for your homeschool, private school, or Christian teen. THE NEW VERSION IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ORIGINAL VERSION.
