This curriculum is well-organized and covers the entire school year with 32 weeks of work/5 days a week. The detailed lessons cover grammar, punctuation, analytical questions, vocabulary, and writing. Since this curriculum is for creative writing 5 days a week, Monday = 10 minutes free write, Tuesday has various writing activities focusing on vocabulary, Wednesday focuses on literature and story-telling, Thursday focuses on plot and constructing a mini novel, and Friday focuses on journal writing.
I love that this curriculum is complete, low-cost and is rigorous enough to keep my daughter engaged for her ELA course.
Thank you so much!
