Welcome to Our Elements of Literature Homeschool Language Arts Course

Is your middle school student ready to move beyond just reading comprehension? Elements of Literature guides seventh- through ninth-grade students as they learn to analyze various types of literature and identify key literary elements including character, conflict, point of view, and setting. Students use focus questions, writing assignments, and assessments to explore eight genres, including fiction, humor, fantasy, short story, and more. The thirty-six-week course concludes with students applying the elements of literature they have learned to a novel of their own choosing.
