Coarsegold Home School students in grades 3-8 met weekly during the spring
semester for a writing class. They learned about the craft of writing
through reading like writers and studying author's craft.
They also spent a great deal of time writing poetry. "Poetry is a
wonderful way for students to play with language and build confidence
in their writing," says teacher Denise Bausch. The students' work
was featured at the Showcase of Schools in March.
On the last day of class, students wrote a poem for Father's Day, as well
as compiled a book of the writings they have completed since the class
began. This class will resume next year and will also focus on essay as
well as narrative writing.
