The Homeschool Experience

Step into a world where words come alive! In this Brave Writer–inspired class, students will explore literature and creative expression in a hands-on, engaging way. Using the Brave Writer philosophy, we’ll focus on playful, low-stress writing projects, language games, and big, juicy conversations to help students develop their voice, expand their imagination, and gain confidence in their writing. We won’t just analyze and discuss texts—we’ll actively craft written pieces that reflect each student’s unique voice. Some of this semester’s activities will include reading, discussing, and hosting book parties after reading The Giver and The Mona Lisa Vanishes, a Titanic Poetry Tea Part, exploring Shakespeare, participating in Socratic discussions, practicing argumentative writing, freewrites, a mini mock trial, and more.
