Does anyone have any ideas/recommendations for a writing curriculum for 8th grade? (m)

Current mood:
My daughter is 13, and in "8th" grade (she is gifted, and is well above her grade in reality). She HATES to write. I am hoping to get her accustomed to writing essays and research papers. She is capable, it is just like pulling teeth. Any thoughts? TIA!!!

Thank you. I did look into this, and it looks good. Unfortunately all the seminar cds and everything are just not in our budget right now. =( (nt) - magnificent7 11/06/2009 11:24

I'll ask my Tia how important that part of it is, b/c she's just started using it FT with her co-op class and I'm pretty sure she didn't go to any seminars, etc... - msjennbug 11/06/2009 11:46

If you are an English major you shouldn't need the seminar CD. - msjennbug 11/08/2009 10:36
