Creative Writers…Imagine That! has been written for those elementary school teachers with little to no experience teaching writing who are full of questions–including where to start! It’s also a great supplement for teachers who want to build upon or improve the writing program they are already using. It takes a straight forward approach to handling the problems teachers typically encounter when faced with teaching writing. It not only provides an overview of writing in the classroom, but also includes over thirty creative writing lessons that focus on specific writing elements and genres.
Most lessons start with by sharing a wonderfully written children’s book (title, publisher and ISBN included) and then progress through a detailed lesson that models the writing element being introduced. The lesson finishes with a presentation idea that goes beyond the regular pencil and paper drawing. This book can be used alone or in conjunction with other writing programs, and simply requires books, children, patience, time, and a big imagination! Whether you teach kindergarten, fifth grade, or any grade in between, this is one teaching resource you’ll find yourself pulling off the shelf over and over again.
