Descriere & specificații

From USA Today Bestselling author and high school creative writing teacher L.A. Detwiler comes a book of tried and true strategies for the writing classroom. The opportunity to teach a high school creative writing class can be both thrilling and terrifying. If you're like I was in my first year of teaching the course, you may be wondering: What should you teach in a creative writing course? How should you assess students? How can you make writing fun, even for reluctant learners? Is it possible to teach students to be creative? What should the structure of your class look like? In my first year of teaching the course, I found few resources that were helpful on these subjects. Most were solely focused on fun activities or how to be a writer, not on how to structure a class and actually teach it. This book is the product of my own frustrations in my first year and the experience I've gained from trial and error over the past eight years of teaching the course. In that time frame, I also managed to develop a Creative Writing Level II course and a Novel Writing course from scratch. I also earned my USA Today Bestseller's title, which has allowed me to understand what skills are sought in the professional industry. In this book, I will share with you tried-and-true tactics for starting your own successful writing program or just infusing your English classroom with a positive outlook on creative writing. I'll cover the skills that are most in demand in the creative writing field s
