Special Notes: This course, a continuation of the Simplified Writing series for 7/8 students, is scheduled during four time slots in the spring semester. The smaller class size ensures excellent feedback on your student’s work. This is the third of a four-part series. Continue with the MS 7/8 Series for a full year of Writing.

Your student will go through the start-to-finish process of creating an academic essay, with special attention given to choosing the right rhetoric, diction, and syntax (words and order) while specifically tackling their weaknesses, to give them the critical writing improvement and practice needed for upper-level writing. While previous classes taught the how and why of writing skills (with first-time introductions to ideas), this course gives your student critical practice that allows the knowledge to “sink in” within actual writing, to master those skills under the tutelage of a teacher and professional writer and be fully prepared for high school writing and beyond.

Instructor: Sharon Hamric-Weis, B.S.ED, J.D. Course Description: This course continues literary analysis of written and cinematic works and their accompanying writing assignments to strengthen your student’s critical thinking, literary analysis, and upper-level writing skills. Using movies as well as published works, students study structure, character development, scene, setting, plot, and theme – with the purpose of preparing for the study of literature at the college level. Students will view movies biweekly with a parent or on their own in order to discuss the elements of literature. On alternate weeks, class discussion will focus on selected texts only, while employing critical thinking skills. This high-interest course continues your student’s ability to enhance critical thinking, analysis, and writing skills using classical works – while enjoying learning the same time. Course Outline: Class 1: Analyzing Quo Vadis Part I Scene and setting presented in the movie Class 2: Analyzing Quo Vadis Part II Comparison of scene and setting from movie to book Class 3: Analyzing Gulliver’s Travels Part I Theme presented in the movie Class 4: Analyzing Gulliver’s Travels Part II Comparison of theme from movie to book Class 5: Analyzing A Tale of Two Cities Part I Plot and conflict presented in the movie Class 6: Analyzing A Tale of Two Cities Part II Comparison of plot and conflict from movie to book Class 7: Analyzing Ben Hur Part I Character development presented in the movie Class 8: Analyzing Ben Hur Part II Comparison of character development from movie to book Class 9: Analyzing Great Expectations Part I Plot twist Class 10: Analyzing Great Expectations Part II Comparison of plot twist from movie to book Class 11: Analyzing Les Miserables (1982 version) Part I Character arc Class 12: Analyzing Les Miserables Part II Comparison of character arc from movie to book Course Materials: Students will access available movies and books on their own or through resources provided. Because some of the classic works are secular, parents may wish to pre-screen the cinematic version and fast-forward through any potential sensitive material. All analysis will be filtered through the faith-based, Catholic perspective. Homework: Your student should expect to spend an estimated three to four hours on homework outside of class time, depending on the student’s ability. Homework includes reading, viewing films, automated quizzes on odd weeks, and short essay assignments (1 to 2 pages) on even weeks. To increase your student’s skills, the instructor grades writing assignments with direct feedback. It is recommended that students begin familiarizing themselves with the books before the first day of class, since there is substantial reading in this course. Week 11 may be used as a catch-up period at the instructor's discretion, and the focus of Week 12 may be limited to discussion of the movie Les Miserables only. More
