Poetry and a Movie for High School ~ Semester Course
A Semester Long Study of the Master Poets
- Do you want to teach your kids about poetry but have no idea where to start?
- Does the idea of teaching high school to your teen intimidate you?
- Does the use of technology make learning more appealing to your kids?
Hi, I'm Dachelle. I am the owner of Literary Adventures for Kids and I want to help you to teach high school literature in a way that is easy for you and fun for your teen.
Don't let the idea of teaching high school intimidate you. We've done all the work for you!
It's scary! The whole idea of homeschooling high school can be intimidating.
Yes, teaching high school is a little scary... especially if it's a subject that makes you uncomfortable. When my oldest started high school I planned, researched, and panicked. How could I possibly teach all these subjects? I hadn't had some of these classes in 20 years!
That's when I had the brilliant idea to turn over some of these responsibilities to someone else so I could focus on other parts of our homeschool. So, I hired out the subjects that scared me. I enrolled my son in class and I relaxed.
Let us help you teach Language Arts!
This literature course covers all you need for a full high school language arts credit. Your student will study literature, literary elements, grammar and writing.

"Linking poems with memorable movies is a brilliant method of making poetry more interesting and understandable to students, and that’s the real value of the Poetry and a Movie course."

Teach your kids about the Master Poets in a way that is engaging and fun!
The word "Poetry" brings on many images, but is poetry relevant today?
Teaching classic poetry to teenagers can be difficult. Teens want new and exciting things to learn and they believe anything older than themselves is ancient. Why on earth would they want to study poets who have been dead for decades or even centuries?
Our poetry study for high school not only teaches your teen about poets and their poetry, but they will also be learning about how classical material is still utilized in our modern culture.
Help your teen learn why the classics are just as relevant today as when they were written.
Adding technology to the classics adds an element of fun!
Teens seem to be permanently attached to their devices. Instead of fighting the inevitable, we bring the poets to your teen through those very devices.
This study was created to help teach kids in a way that appeals to multiple learning styles and embraces technology to enrich the learning.
Poetry and a Movie makes the Master Poets appealing and relevant to the high school crowd through the effective use of technology. Your teen will not only be learning about poets and their poetry, they will also be learning about literary elements and how classical material is still utilized in our modern culture.
This poetry study is actually fun for teens!
Using these simple techniques, poetry comes to life
With a simple formula, we bring these classic poems to life and start engaging your student in a literature adventure.
"My daughter is excited about poetry. That very idea was a shocker. She cried for 2 days solid when we went to look for her Language Arts program for high school. No way did she want to do poetry. I almost didn't show her the course. After she looked inside she said, "Hey, this looks fun!" then zoomed off to find the books and movies.
I was shocked, but what really made me excited? She told her DAD all about it. My kids NEVER talk to their dad about their schoolwork."
- Jen Mackinnon, Homeschool Mom and Owner of Practical, By Default and The "Working Homeschool Mom" Club
Homeschool mama, don't despair. We're here to help!
Don't panic about teaching high school!
Our course provides a semester's worth of language arts curriculum that teaches all the elements you need for a successful year. You don't have to do any of the work. It's all done for you.
Don't spend a fortune on an expensive language arts curriculum your teen hates.
So many language arts courses cost hundreds of dollars and at the end of the day everyone is frustrated and ready to throw the book out the window. Our course is inexpensive and fun. (Plus, you can't really throw an online course through the window.)
Don't fight the battle of trying to teach classics to your teen.
Seriously, I've been there. The struggle is real. But, you don't have to fight the battle because your teen is going to enjoy this course. Even if poetry isn't their cup of tea, they will start on a new adventure that will broaden their minds and experiences.
"The Poetry and a Movie Course is such a fun combination. Not only do you learn about revered poets, you get to enjoy some classic movies along the way. Mom and dad will enjoy completing this course with their children and diving deep into poetry."
