This Wednesday-morning tutorial will take apart top sentences from great writers past and present, playing with their sentence structures, devices, and techniques in our own writing.  Since most people like to picture what they read, we’ll periodically wander around our ever-changing Ferntop, honing our detail observation and description.  We’ll regularly read out loud, sometimes share our work, and constant feedback from the EXPLOREMYWRITING app designed by the teacher to get us asking questions earlier in the writing process.  We’ll read through stories and eventually a novel or two, learn how to set up and support an argument, and hopefully nurture a curiosity that pulls us into lifelong reading, writing, and learning!

This is an academic course that fulfills a year-long English requirement.  There will be a required parent meeting for interested families prior to registration. Email george.rietz@gmail.com for date/time information.
