Through 78 video lessons, The One Year Adventure Novel<\/em> high school English curriculum guides 9th\u201312th graders step by step in creating an original, fully-structured, compelling adventure novel\u2014in one school year (two semesters). The program\u2019s unique approach to writing begins where many writing courses don\u2019t go at all, with an exploration of Story. Students learn the basic elements that make stories fulfilling and meaningful and how to identify and use three-act story structure and the basic fictional modes. They read Anthony Hope’s foundational The Prisoner of Zenda<\/em> and excerpts from other classic adventure novels, and, most importantly, complete their own original novel!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
