Course Details:
Throughout this course, the children learn to write for different purposes. Alongside the course, the children will read "The Boy at the Back of the Class," by Onjali Q Rauf, which needs to be purchased by the client. This novel offers a child's perspective on the plight of refugees, and highlights the importance of kindness and friendship in a world that does not always make sense to them. Each week, the children will practise a different style of writing. This includes:
- Recount writing
- Playscript
- Discursive writing
- Autobiographical writing
- Writing the next chapter
- Formal persuasive letter writing
- Descriptive writing
- Newspaper report writing
- Ending the story
- Book analysis
- Writing a story (two lessons will be devoted to writing a story and re-capping skills learned in the "Creative Writing: Core Skills and Story Writing" course)
Within each lesson, the children will learn how to structure these pieces of writing; new vocabulary; sentence structures; specific features of each style and more!

Desiree –
“My son benefited greatly from taking the Bright Light Education course on creative writing. I witnessed his written work improve weekly and by the end he had the stamina to write a lot more compared to the beginning lesson. The quality of his written work also improved immensely. His teacher, Rosanna, was warm and encouraging and he responded positively to her teaching style.”
Parent –
“My son has improved his writing skills and started enjoying writing after the two courses we did with Bright Light Education, both the “Core skills and Story Writing Course” and “Writing for Different Purposes”. “Writing for Different Purposes” made it feel complete and took the student’s writing skills to the next level. The constant positive feedback and encouragement throughout the lessons boosted his confidence levels. The structure and the style of the course is remarkable and makes writing fun.”

“My son is enjoying the classes a lot thank you. He said he feels he learns a lot from this class. He has another group creative writing class with another company and although the other one is very popular, he said he prefers Bright Light Education’s course!”

“[My daughter] is loving the course so much! I noticed her researching the theme for the following lesson because she wants to be prepared. This proactivity and enthusiasm suggests to me that she is absolutely enjoying it and wants to do well. She thinks Rosanna is a great teacher and looks forward to her marked work every week very keenly. She is preparing for a couple of 11+ exams so it is fantastic that she gets to learn about writing for different purposes, give each one a go and then improve her work based on Rosanna’s feedback. I think that she would not get a chance to do this at such great depths and with so much enthusiasm anywhere else!”
Kamilla –
“It is a fantastic course overall where children can develop and grow their skills in a great variety of genres. My daughter absolutely enjoyed learning new techniques every lesson and then applying them in her weekly homework. She thinks that Rosanna is a fabulous teacher and said she’d happily do an another (3rd!) course with her. We think that the small group set-up works very well. Thank you to Bright Light Education for providing such amazing content for this course. We’ll be back! :)”
