Class Overview
Made With You in Mind
In Middle School Writing: History Projects, we’ll look at the history of one of your child’s favorite things.
Everything can be traced back to its invention—an idea that entices students this age.
We ask them: Where does that object come from? How did it get here? What’s the way we use it now, as opposed to ten years ago? Who started this craze?
We dig. We excavate. We explore!
Some of the benefits of this class include:
- Repeat potential. Students learn the steps involved in an investigative history project. You can repeat the process again at home with a different topic!
- Personal point of entry. We aim for the subject that appeals to your child. We don’t squash enthusiasm with boring topics and restrictive formats.
- Research skill building. This class gives students a chance to join the academic adventure by doing research using sources real historians use. We also introduce the idea of citing sources.
- Traditional elements, the Brave Writer® way. We provide a non-intimidating introduction to academic conventions like planning, revising, editing, and formats.
Is it time for a blast from the past?
