Learn the Craft, Then Make It Their Own

Imagine your teen reading a poem and spotting what makes it work, like the meter, the stanzas, or the way a ballad tells its story. Then they feel inspired to write their own. Each lesson teaches a concept, shares an example, and gives daily exercises. Every unit ends with a writing assignment. By the end, your teen knows how each form is built and why it works, so they can use that structure to write something of their own.

Why You’ll Love It

Independent lessons your teen can work through alone
No teacher's manual or writing background needed
Biblical worldview and carefully chosen examples
Flexible pacing that fits your homeschool schedule
Digital answer key included for simple grading

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. Everything we create is anchored in Scripture. We keep it 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. That’s why we create resources for different ages and stages, so everyone can take part.
What do you believe?

We are Bible-believing evangelical Christians. It's our mission to create products that handle the Word of God accurately and literally. We aim to get families into the Word for themselves and challenge them to read and think about it carefully rather than relying on the words and ideas of others. We believe all families should be asking about the theology of the resources they use, as nothing is neutral and everything has a worldview. Here is what we believe:
The Bible is God's Word and the final authority for everything we believe and how we live. It is completely true and trustworthy in all that it says, given to us by God down to its very words. There is one God who has always existed as three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God created all things, including human beings, by His own direct act. Salvation is a free and forever-secure gift, received by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus came in human flesh, was born of a virgin, and rose bodily from the grave. He will one day return in person, in His own body, to reign on the earth for a thousand years. This return will be personal, bodily, and premillennial.

Is the curriculum accredited?

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