Courses taught by Janice

Classics Based Writing will help your student recognize excellent writing, understand various literary terms and techniques, and expand his/her vocabulary. Your student will use copywork, analysis, transformation of the work copied, and finally create their own work. The lessons can be done sequentially or in any order you choose. The course, as presented, is worth one-half credit. If you would like to use it as part of a full English credit, you must add four or more full-length works of classic literature, a solid roots-based vocabulary program, and an 8- to 15-page research paper on the topic of your choice.
