The Short Stories Literature Unit offers a comprehensive homeschool language arts curriculum to enhance reading and writing skills through short fiction. Children will dissect story structure, build critical thinking skills, and write their own tales influenced by the natural environment.

Key Features:

• Writing Skills: Students write a dynamic original short story, focusing on plot, character creation, and setting to strengthen their narrative abilities.
• Literary Analysis and Critical Thinking: By exploring different genres, from fantasy to historical fiction, students practice analyzing themes, conflicts, and perspectives. This will prepare them to articulate nuanced responses and analyses.
• Hands-on Learning – Art-Text Interplay: After reading rich environmental descriptions, students create drawings or paintings inspired by the text.
• Interactive Reading Experience: Active engagement with texts allows for improved comprehension, as children pose and answer questions.

The Literature Unit - Short Stories encourages creativity while strengthening literary skills, blending education and imagination in a fun and engaging journey with short stories. Watch your child's storytelling abilities grow as they embark on this enriching adventure. This unit spans three weeks of our comprehensive Age 10-12 curriculum, often used as six grade homeschool curriculum.
