Tips on Teaching Creative Writing
by Shirley Kawa-Jump
What can teachers to specifically to promote creative writing skills?
Plan ahead, plan twice as much as material as you think you are going to need, plan activities that involve the whole class, develop several brainstorming activivies, don't push for the class to participate, cover the basics of business, and learn from your students were all the main points that were covered. This was a simple article, but I think it gave some good tips and advice for teaching creative writing. Being extra prepared is a good idea, in case a brainstorming session does not fill up enough time you can have extra worksheets and handouts. Teaching the whole class the basics like character development would involve the whole class. Not making the whole clas participate in every activity was good, have shy students submit work via email, if they do not want classmates to critique work. Also, showing how to do research online and where to find ideas for story ideas I thought was a good point.
