Interesting writing activities that have the purpose of engaging the writer deep into the writing process.  I see that "ownership" is key to being a good writer.  To this end each lesson addresses a specific writing need.  Each lesson includes literature and/or practical examples in the "how to" write process.  I gleaned ideas in ways to create a real life character with specific traits through the specific helps described in the appendixes.  Perhaps I'll be able to incorporate them in the weeks ahead.  I do see that the entire set of lessons could be sprinkled throughout the academic year beginning in August.  It appears that these lessons are arranged in that order.
