A Creative Writing /History elective course for students ages 9-adult from STEPS, all about New Years!

First, the student is provided a history of time. Time is defined, as are increments of time such as seconds, hours, days, weeks, months and years. Then the phenomenon of a year is explained in simple scientific terms.  The history of New Years is presented.

Then the student is guided through the mechanics of good story telling, and the authoring of two New year's short stories. The student's creativity is enhanced and challenged as they are quickly provided a map to story telling and the assignment of authorship.

Finally, the student is asked to establish their own goals for the next year.  A course like no other, celebrating a holiday like no other!

17 lessons strong on geography and vocabulary as well as development of writing skills.  Additionally, this unique course helps the student think about plans for the future.
