Synopsis
Created to give students a deeper understanding of the process of both fiction and non-fiction writing.
Students will learn to establish a clear voice in writing, create valid effective arguments, understand how authors make readers feel emotion, and communicate clearly through fiction narratives and business writing.
Topics addressed in this one-year course include:
- Identifying and creating attitudes in narrative voice
- Recognizing the points of an argument and writing a successful argument
- Developing a narrative voice for fiction writing
- Punctuating dialogue and creating speech patterns for characters
- Organizing a description by seeing objects as groups of parts
- Writing concise, insightful business letters.
A suggested schedule is provided, as well as worksheets that are three-hole punched and perforated, and the addition of a reading and literature component helps students look more deeply into the Bible and other books they select.

About the Author
Dave Marks, the founder of National Writing Institute and the author of the Writing Strands and Reading Strands series of books, graduated from Western Michigan University. He then received a Masters of Arts degree from Central Michigan University and did 45 more hours of graduate work in English at Eastern Michigan University and Michigan State University. Dave retired after 30 years of teaching writing in college, high school, junior high and grade school.
When their son was in the fourth grade, Dave and his wife Lea realized that he was not being given the training they felt he needed and elected to homeschool him in language arts. To prepare him for college writing, they designed a series of lessons, which he completed by the age of twelve. That summer, they enrolled him in freshman English at Lake Michigan College, where he received his first A in college work. He is now a poet and university professor.
Dave and Lea later turned these lessons into the Writing Strands series of books. While Dave never maintained that the series could create poets for other homeschooling parents, he felt that if children worked successfully through the Writing Strands series of books, they would have the skills needed for the challenge of any writing assignment in their undergraduate college work.
