High School Creative Writing Curriculum introduction

Simplifies Poetry

Not sure your student will love poetry? That's okay! In Your Own Words demystifies poetry by explaining poetic styles, meter, literary devices, and structures like feet, lines, and stanzas. Then, your high schooler is challenged to write their own poetry using the tools they've been given and the concepts they've learned.

Wide Variety of Writing Styles

By examining a wide variety of literature, from journal entries to ballads, students are taught to engage with many styles of writing. Helpful questions and prompts get your student thinking outside their comfort zone and equip them to grow their reading, writing, and overall communication skills even after they've completed the journal.

Step-by-Step Process

Each unit of the journal breaks down the writing process into manageable pieces, clearly explaining each step. Checklists and reminders ensure your student understands what is required of them and what parts of their writing to focus on at each stage of the process. Students complete a review and assessment after both the poetry and prose sections of the book in order to refresh their memory and show how much they have learned. From brainstorming to finalizing, students are taught and equipped!

General Homeschool FAQs

  • What are the credentials of the Not Consumed team?

    The Not Consumed team exists for one purpose: to help your family grow in faith so you can live #NotConsumed. We are homeschool parents with over 220 years of combined homeschooling experience, advanced degrees in education and curriculum design, and a deep love for serving families well. Every Bible study, family resource, and homeschool curriculum we create is anchored in Scripture and made to be practical, clear, and easy to use, because we know your days are already full.

    We believe the best learning happens when families gather around God's Word together, so we create resources that work across ages and stages to make that time meaningful, approachable, and real.

  • What do you believe?

    I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.

  • Is the curriculum accredited?

    Though schools can be accredited, there is not an accreditation program for curriculum.
