For Those Gathering Writing Teaching Tips
Hello Teacher Friends!
Hope that “back to school” is going well so far. I also hope that somewhere in your schedule there may be a little creative writing planned for your students…
In fact, maybe you’re already to start thinking about what a creative writing workshop might look like with your crew! Quite often, we go straight to hunting for tips and strategies best suited to the beginning of the process: how to spark ideas, how to develop interesting characters, how to inspire great descriptions, etc. And of course, you’re going to need a writing plan to cover all of these things!
But I wanted to say just in case: don’t forget about revision! I know it probably feels like a far off step. BUT…I also know that it’s one of the most-often-asked-about topics I get when I plan a workshop with teachers. So the odds are if you’re not thinking about it just yet, you will be eventually!
Take a look at my new article Looking for Inspiring Creative Writing Ideas? – here I offer my best tips and strategies for teaching revision in your creative writing unit in a way than can be fun and get results!
Hope you’ll take a look – drop me a line anytime to let me know what you think!
– Karin
