Teen enjoyed it
My teen enjoyed this program. Clearwater Press does not disappoint! Although my teen’s favourite was still the One Year Adventure Novel (by same company), Byline was still very worthwhile. As an added bonus, my teen enjoys history so that kept her interest also. Clearwater Press has great video quality which I really appreciate. My child learned more writing skills with this course. Its quite a unique way to teaching kids how to write an essay- but I believe the way it is taught would help capture the interest of a student interested in writing or one who is a reluctant writer…and that reluctant writers would be more interested in this program than more traditional teaching.
