More About Our Into the Elements Homeschool Language Arts Course

Public speakers, novelists, screenwriters, teachers, biographers, journalists, memoirists, essayists, and communicators of any sort are invited into the elements.

Donald Miller delivers four lectures on the art of story, showing any communicator how to translate their ideas into stories that readers, viewers, and listeners can’t turn away from.

In this four-session Into the Elements homeschool language arts series, students learn to:

• Use the elements of a story to keep an audience interested in a lecture
• Keep the reader interested on every page of a novel
• Use the techniques for creating the beginning, middle, and end of a story
• Plot the story-arc before ever writing a word of a novel
• Understand how “The Story Question” is the heart of every story
• Create stories that are exciting, provocative, and meaningful
