... by Jill J. Dixon, B.S.Ed., M.Ed.
This is her best selling 3rd through 12th grade
program that effectively teaches
descriptive writing through modeling techniques of great works of
world literature.
Nine different genres are covered:
* Describing an Object from Jules Verne - a Place from Charles Dickens -
a Character from Daniel Defoe
* Dialogue from Kenneth Grahame
* The Short Story from O. Henry
* Fables from Aesop
* Friendly Letters from Robert Louis Stevenson
* Poetry - Rhyming Verse from William Wordsworth
* The Ballad or Narrative Poem from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
This curriculum was created as the result of teaching writing to
public, private, and homeschooled students for eighteen years. It is based on
the successful techniques employed by Mrs. Dixon, implementing effective methods
used in classical literature. Proficiency in literary analysis, grammar,
proofreading, and listening comprehension is also taught in the program. Each
daily lesson takes only 15-45 minutes, is addressed to the student and can be
used with all children in a family at the same time. The program includes all
needed excerpts from all of the literature that it models so that teachers are
not required to purchase additional material. It comes complete with a helpful
answer key, grading criteria, and an invaluable “How To Write Guide” to assist
in teaching each genre.
The "How To Write Guide" possesses very powerful features. It is a very advantageous, quick and reliable
proofing tool that can be kept handy as an explanatory checklist for all
of the characteristics that are found in effective writing in each writing
genre. It also functions as a constant litmus throughout the
student’s writing career for verification of accomplished writing. A lot of
people really like this particular feature of our writing curriculum.
Volume 1 also
contains references to additional literary passages so that the program can be
continually used if desired.
This program accommodates all learning styles and
provides guidance for the learning disabled and non-interested or reluctant
writer. It is inexpensive and will not weary your students. This
curriculum is a genuine, incremental (step-by-step) program which requires minimal
teacher involvement towards the goal of mastery of creative writing. -
