Weekly Outline: Heritage
Introduction to the Module Instruction
In the past few weeks you have been learning all about the different tools authors use to spice up their writing- figurative language, theme, etc.
This week we are going to dive into looking at WHAT authors write about. One of the biggest things is something that naturally is effecting you and I every day- Culture! What is culture? What is heritage? This is what we are going to discover this week.
