This is a six-lesson curriculum developing creative writing skills and enhancing history education. There is an ocean of colorful characters and fun learning opportunities around every corner in this book. Most educational experts agree that sensory learning becomes a part of the child forever. This is why we have added not only writing exercises but visual, auditory, and hands-on projects as well. Make a battle drum, create your own secret code, or memorize parts of a famous speech. We have specifically designed some activities for the boy-factor-the need to use large motor skills as they learn. These fun projects and activities will engage boys to roll play thus creating loads of ideas for stories and motivation to write! Even the reluctant writer will dive into the writing pool!
