WRITING STRANDS - LEVEL 7
CHALLENGING WRITING PROJECTS FOR HOME SCHOOLERS


Writing Strands is a writing curriculum designed for home schooling students. Assignments provide detailed, step by step instruction aimed at improving creative writing skill, expository writing, and report writing. If you are new to the Writing Strands curriculum please see our Overview, and our Frequently Asked Questions. See a sample page of Writing Strands 7.

Level Seven is designed for students of any age who have finished Level Six.   These exercises expand on the same types of writing experiences as are found in Level Six but present a much more sophisticated approach to writing. Also introduced are a book report and an argumentative essay.

Each book in Levels Three through Seven presents 90 days of exercises that were written so that everything the students need to know to do the work is in the assignments. The instructions in each assignment in each level:

* Identify the writing skill being presented

* Suggest the number of days (sessions) the average student should need to do the work

* List objectives of the exercise, so that the parents will know what parts of the writing skill will be learned

* Present a model, so that the child will understand what the work will be like

* Give pre-writing exercises—the child is asked to examine things or is encouraged to talk about, or read about the subject before writing

* Is broken into manageable segments so that the child is not overwhelmed with the challenge

* Present clear and detailed instructions for the writing

"Writing Strands is a great way to teach writing in the home school."
