Programa (na língua de ensino) | Course description (in language of instruction)


The objective of this course is one and one alone: for students to develop their narrative writing skills.  They will learn how to tell stories in the first, second, and third person.  First person stories will be told orally.  The second and third person stories will be told in written form.  All necessary resources – such as the coursebook and possibly videos – will be uploaded onto the Google drive that we, as a class, will share.  Links to videos may also be attached to the online summaries. 

Grammar books and dictionaries will not be provided.
