Who is this class for?
⟡ This class is for young writers ready to be enkindled through a love of language!
⟡ Diving deeply into the history of language, we learn to use words like paintbrushes and color, composing works of literary art. Whether their persuasion is poetry, short stories, longer stories, manga/comics, plays, or more, this is a place for them.
⟡ We teach students how to read and write critically, sharpening their ability to think freely.
⟡ Students are asked to try new things, stretching, shaping, and molding themselves into well-rounded wordsmiths.
⟡ Play joins with consistent effort to create language mastery. As Friedrich Schiller says, “Play makes us fully human, and we are only fully human when we play.”
⟡ We give homework between classes which includes reading, writing, and direct observation of nature.

How is this class structured?
⟡ The class is structured according to the threefold human geometry of willing, feeling, and thinking, spending one month on each capacity before moving onto the next. Then, we return and return again to build skills organically over time.
⟡ Willing: We build our language muscles and cultivate a strong life of the senses. Imaginative exercises, grammar, and writing mechanics take center stage, and we do it in the spirit of play and fun.
⟡ Feeling: We proceed to work with the rhythmic quality of language, emphasizing meter and rhyme and learning to wrangle our creative ideas into form. Poetry is the focus during these months.
⟡ Thinking: We work on content to produce stories, essays, and plays. Here, we also work with the great literature of the world to inspire creative thinking.
*This threefold rhythm repeats each month, allowing new students to join anytime and still get all the value of the course.
⟡ Each individual session begins with focus and language exercises, followed by sharing homework. Then, we learn a new skill and practice it before ending with a joke.
