As the mother of a 15-year-old daughter who is ALWAYS writing, I am super excited about this product that several Crew members are going to be reviewing this year.  The One Year Adventure Novel is a complete one-year curriculum designed specifically for homeschool students.  I cannot wait to give this one a try! 

The One Year Adventure Novel program is written by an award-winning novelist and it suitable for both those children (like my oldest) who LOVE to write and for those resistant writers (I have one of those coming along also).  It is designed for children in grades 8-12 and includes all of the following:

The Compass A textbook with detailed explanations of the concepts explored in each class and sections of classic adventure novels used for study. 8.5 x 11.

The Map

A workbook with over 400 questions designed to provoke thought and inspire creativity. 8.5 x 11.

The Map acts as a guide to your student's original story and gives direction toward making that story more effective.

Teacher's Guide

An easy to use system for grading your student's work and helping them improve their writing skills. 5.5 x 8.5.

Set of Instructional DVDs

7 DVDs, containing all 78 lessons, covering every topic and each step in the curriculum. Each lesson is about 10 to 15 minutes long and is taught using a variety of reinforcements.
Your students will not be bored in class!

Bonus Resource disk containing:

* 26 Weekly quizzes that can be administered by computer.

* Video FAQs

* 14 classic adventure novels, including:
Huckleberry Finn, Treasure Island, The Jungle Book, The Blood Ship, Black Rock, Captains Courageous, Rupert of Hentzau, Tarzan, King Solomon's Mines, Wulf the Saxon, Peter Pan and more

The Prisoner of Zenda

Finding curriculum that your child is excited about.....that doesn't happen often; so, when it does, I'm going to take advantage of it!  I'll be sure to share my thoughts on this one.
