Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format. - Freedom to participate in other programs and extracurriculars - Freedom to go deeper in other areas of interest - Time to process what you’re learning without being overwhelmed by assignments and readings - Opportunities for deeper readings, discussions, and analysis - Challenging assignments exploring themes, lessons, and characters in the liberal arts - Freedom to thoroughly explore the subject material ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Icons%20Badges/ico-bar-3.svg) ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20selfpaced.svg) #### Self-Paced Courses If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses. Self-paced courses include the following benefits: - Engaging recordings from our best live classes - Interaction with peers through online forums - Access to weekly mentor office hours - Streamlined assignments for meaningful learning - Same high-quality readings as live classes - Same personalized feedback as live classes ![independent studies online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Icons%20Badges/ico-bar-2.svg) ![independent studies online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20indi%20studies%20course.svg) #### Independent Studies Courses In high school [Math](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/math/independent-math-courses/), [Fine Arts](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/fine-arts/independent-fine-arts/), [PE](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/pe-health/independent-pe/), and [Electives](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/electives/independent-electives/), we offer independent courses so students can earn academic credit for learning from a third-party curriculum provider. Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details). - Earn credit for things you are already doing and enjoy - Access to a mentor while working independently to complete education hours Why This Class As a parent, you know that writing is one of the most valuable life skills your student can develop—but teaching them how to write is easier said than done, especially in the early stages. Students in this course read classic stories and build their writing skills through a variety of assignment styles, including essays, creative writing, and a poetry portfolio. Students will learn how to apply reading skills to analyze literature, use and apply vocabulary, and practice grammar and punctuation skills. Students practice these skills four days per week, making rapid progress in clarity and technical skills. Most importantly, students feel free to express themselves and begin to tap into their unique “voice.” By the end of this course, students have overcome foundational struggles with the technical aspects of writing and gained confidence in their ability to communicate well. They are also excited by a new awareness of how thinking like a writer can enrich their lives. ![Featured Image](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/6a-2.jpeg) [![REGISTER NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e) **Course Details** Recommended Grade: 6th Prerequisites: None Estimated Weekly Hours: 2 Format: Live Credits: 0.5 ### Reading List ![Group 166](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20166.svg) The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum The English Grammar Workbook for Grades 6, 7, 8 by Lauralee Moss White Fang by Jack London ### Overarching Questions ![Group 108](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20108.svg) What is the power of language and how can I use it through writing?
