Writing Fiction [in High School] by Sharon Watson

Does your teen love to write stories? Does he or she want to be a positive Christian influence in the world through fiction? Sharon Watson, author of Apologia Press's popular middle school writing curriculum JUMP IN, offers Writing Fiction in High School], an exciting, new textbook specially designed for your homeschool, private school, or Christian teen. 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 storywriting and learn to critique their own work and classmates', too. 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 buying that book and using it with the textbook. That way, students can more easily see how a complete novel and its elements work as they discuss characters, characterization, setting, meaningful discriptions, dialogue, voice, plot, scenes, conflict, the hero's journey, and much, much more. A manuscript track is included in the text so students who have written a short story or novel manuscript may work on it during this course. This track is completely optional. Prerequisites: none. Be sure to check out Writing Fiction in High School]: Teacher's Guide, a practical guide that contains an answer key to the textbook along with suggestions on how to facilitate discussions.
