Tiêu đề The Funbook of Creative Writing.pdf ✅

Dear Teachers and Parents, Faced with a writing assignment, many students go into shock, recover, and then ask, “What do I write about?” The FUNbook of Creative Writing provides reluctant writers with story starters that will help ease the shock. As a teacher for over twenty years, I know how difficult it is to motivate students to write original stories using their own imaginations. Many language arts textbooks lack good, funny, creative, and attention-grabbing story starters. The story starters in this book are about characters with unusual names that are involved in extraordinary situations. My students love to read them aloud and even come up with their own ideas. The FUNbook of Creative Writing can be used with large or small groups. Write one of the story starters on the board before class begins. Ask the students to think about what would happen next in the story. Have volunteers tell how they would continue the story and how they would end it. Telling stories aloud helps other students think of their own ideas when it is time to put them on paper. Another way to ease reluctant writers into the process is to have each person in the class contribute the next sentence in a story. I do this with my students and when parents visit the room, the students proudly point to the part of the story that they contributed. Sometimes I put each story starter on an index card and ask each student to pick one out of a box. I also have two students write a story as a team. In this way, slower students can learn from their partners as they exchange ideas and thereby not be solely responsible for the entire assignment. I know that the FUNbook of Creative Writing will motivate your students in class or at home. Sincerely, Dennis E. Paul Mrs. Smith Smith Academy, Scranton, Pennsylvania
