Description
Improve your writing skills in a fun way! We have a monthly theme (one Zelda game per month) and each week we see a different writing topic! You do NOT have to know everything about every Zelda game, in order to fully enjoy this class. ALSO, if your learner doesn't enjoy the month's theme they can use whatever Zelda game they like, provided they use the prompts given. Please see the schedule below. The majority of lessons stand alone and do not build upon previous classes, so learners can join in at any time.
