Building Brave Writers

This trio of classes invites students to explore writing through connection, creativity, and self-expression. 

With a focus on freewriting, these classes work well between Brave Writer 101 and 102, but they can also be taken on their own at any time. Three options to choose from—pick your favorite or work through them all! 

Building Brave Writers classes are direct student-instructor interaction classes. Parents can support from the sidelines as students navigate class on their own!

• Building Brave Writers: Description

Delight the senses! Children describe real and imagined experiences using vivid detail. Expect word play, imagination, and fresh observations as they bring their world to life.

• Building Brave Writers: Experience

Let’s capture life as it happens. Writers will focus on telling true stories from their own lives—learning how to tap into emotions, utilize perspective, and reflect meaningfully through writing.

• Building Brave Writers: Observation

Sometimes, the best writing comes from quiet noticing. In this class, students pay close attention to what’s around them—and then turn their observations into rich, thoughtful writing.

Highlights of these courses:

• Three weeks long and asynchronous, for maximum flexibility
• Capped at 25 students who interact with each other, writer's workshop-style
• Students take the wheel and post on their own in our Building Brave Writers classes
• Includes a live instructor giving personalized feedback to help writers grow

Start with Confidence. Grow with Guidance.
