My daughter is closing in on the end of this (she’s 15, was 14 when she started last fall). She’s really enjoyed it. Each day there is a dvd segment to watch (this can be from 7-30 minutes I think), they work in the Map (workbook where they are fleshing out their novel characters, plot, etc), lesson book they read in, and sometimes also reading a chapter from The Prisoner of Zenda when it illustrates the topic of the lesson.
It stands alone for us as a Novel Writing credit. She also did literature and other things for an English 9 credit, so this Novel Writing became an elective for her transcript purposes.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Sounds great. My son thinks he may want to be an author so I think this would be perfect. Did you give her a full credit? Do the OYAN people do the grading? Or do they provide a rubric?</p>
Some one gave me this curriculum. After reading this, I’m inclined to set it aside until my son is high school level. It’s a very interesting curriculum!
Yes, a high schooler will be able to get more out of this and apply more than a younger student would! They do offer a middle school program called Cover Story. I’m not familiar with it though.
