Lightning Literature 7

The "7th Grade Lightning Literature" course from Hewitt Homeschooling is a condensed, single-semester program designed for gifted learners, adapted from their full-year course. It's a 50-minute weekly webinar-based course with recordings available for missed sessions. The curriculum covers a range of literary concepts and genres, including plot, poetry, dialogue, autobiography, and characterization. Students engage with these topics through writing exercises in a discussion forum, multimedia materials, web 2.0 tools, and live webinars. The course materials include five books: 'Lightning Lit 7 Student Guide', 'Stories and Poems for Extremely Intelligent Children of All Ages', 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer', 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland', and 'The Story of My Life'. Most of these books can be sourced from local libraries or purchased online.
