Book excerpt: This volume explores the instructional use of creative writing in secondary and post-secondary contexts to enhance students’ language proficiency and expression in English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL). Offering a diverse range of perspectives from scholars and practitioners involved in English language teaching (ELT) globally, International Perspectives on Creative Writing in Second Language Education tackles foundational questions around why fiction and creative writing have been traditionally omitted from ESL and EFL curricula. By drawing on empirical research and first-hand experience, contributors showcase a range of creative genres including autobiography, scriptwriting, poetry, and e-Portfolios, and provide new insight into the benefits of second language creative writing for learners’ language proficiency, emotional expression, and identity development. The volume makes a unique contribution to the field of second language writing by highlighting the breadth of second language users throughout the world, and foregrounding links between identity, learning, and ESL/EFL writing. This insightful volume will be of particular interest to postgraduate students, researchers, and academics in the fields of ESL/EFL learning, composition studies, and second language acquisition (SLA). Those with a focus on the use of creative writing in classrooms more broadly, will also find the book of interest.

Download or read book Creative Writing Pedagogies for the Twenty First Century written by Alexandria Peary and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creative writing workshop: beloved by some, dreaded by others, and ubiquitous in writing programs across the nation. For decades, the workshop has been entrenched as the primary pedagogy of creative writing. While the field of creative writing studies has sometimes myopically focused on this single method, the related discipline of composition studies has made use of numerous pedagogical models. In Creative Writing Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century, editors Alexandria Peary and Tom C. Hunley gather experts from both creative writing and composition studies to offer innovative alternatives to the traditional creative writing workshop. Drawing primarily from the field of composition studies—a discipline rich with a wide range of established pedagogies—the contributors in this volume build on previous models to present fresh and inventive methods for the teaching of creative writing. Each chapter offers both a theoretical and a historical background for its respective pedagogical ideas, as well as practical applications for use in the classroom. This myriad of methods can be used either as a supplement to the customary workshop model or as stand-alone roadmaps to engage and reinvigorate the creative process for both students and teachers alike. A fresh and inspiring collection of teaching methods, Creative Writing Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century combines both conventional and cutting-edge techniques to expand the pedagogical possibilities in creative writing studies.

Download or read book Teaching High School Creative Writing written by L. A. Detwiler and published by L.A. Detwiler. This book was released on 2022-04-09 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 so you can set your students up for success in high school but also beyond. This book covers: How to create a positive environment for creativity The best ways to assess students in creative writing Activities and key topics to cover in order to encourage success Tips for helping students combat writer's block Ways to enhance critique circles to actually be meaningful How your mindset as a teacher can impact the type of writing your students create And much more When done well, your creative writing class can become a safe haven not only for your students to learn how to express themselves, but for you to be the kind of teacher I think we all want to be. It might not feel like it now. You might be feeling overwhelmed and like vomiting. But I promise, if you read this book and make the ideas your own (which is the key, as we'll discuss), you'll shine. Whether you're teaching a creative writing course for the first time, writing curriculum for it, or a veteran creative writing teacher looking to enhance your writing atmosphere, this is the resource with you in mind. Written for a busy teacher, it takes my best, most practical advice and condenses it into a book that will get you inspired to open your students' eyes to the beautiful, magical world of creative writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The main aim of this dissertation was to design and test short courses for creative writing in secondary education. Therefore, we developed design principles to frame the design process. In Study 1 (Chapter 2), we investigated the difference between creative and communicative writing processes. In Study 2 (Chapter 3), we designed a narrative writing course and examined whether this course improved the quality of high school students' communicative and narrative writing and affected their writing process. In Studies 3 and 4 (Chapter 4), we examined whether including creative thinking in a communicative writing course increased the originality of communicative texts and influences students' writing process. In all these studies we explored the contribution of writing motivation and creativity on the writing process and text quality. Finally, to complement our design principles with new findings, we conducted a meta-analysis on creative writing in secondary education in Study 5 (Chapter 5).Our results showed that the creative writing process differs from the communicative writing process: it enhances text production and writing flow. Furthermore, creative writing instruction matters; it influences students' text quality and writing processes in terms of speed. We found that creative writing instruction transferred to communicative text quality, especially for students with a relatively high creative self-concept, but not vice versa. For writing processes, however, there is a transfer effect from communicative to creative writing: even when training divergent thinking for communicative writing, students' narrative text production is enhanced. Finally, motivation played a key role in all our studies: students with positive attitudes toward writing wrote better narrative and communicative texts."--

Book excerpt: After a brief review of the history of college writing instruction, this book examines the undergraduate creative writing workshop. The book attempts to reweave the currently separate strands of college-level creative writing instruction and composition instruction in the belief that developments in these perhaps artificially separated areas can and should enrich each other. In design, the book should serve the students in the creative writing workshops to the extent that it asks their teachers to consider new ways of approaching their academic subject. Chapters in the book include: (1) "Writers in Motion"; (2) "Writers and Researchers on Writing"; (3) "Options in Design"; (4) "Generating Writing"; (5) "Ten Inventions and Variations": (6) "Collaborative Composing and Imitations"; (7) "Responding and Revising"; and (8) "Evaluating and Responding." (A 125-item annotated bibliography and response protocol sheets designed to help students complete creative writing critique sessions are attached.) (RS)

Download or read book Lesson Plans for Teaching Writing written by Chris Jennings Dixon and published by National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte). This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do students often graduate from high school unprepared for college writing? And what can we do about it? These are the questions that a group of classroom teachers set out to explore. Over the course of seven years, a group of middle, high school, college, and university teachers participated in a federally funded writing coalition project to implement innovative approaches to teaching writing. Together they developed this series of lesson plans designed to make writing both fun and an integral part of diverse curricula. "Practical" is the recurrent motif of each teaching strategy. Developed by real teachers in real classrooms, the lessons are grouped into seven categories: writing process, portfolios, literature, research, grammar, writing on demand, and media. Each lesson follows a standard format that includes purpose of the activity; necessary preparation; required props and materials; process and procedure for implementation; instructional pointers and/or possible pitfalls; and reflections from the teacher that provide "behind the scenes" insights.

Book excerpt: The idea behind this course is to help educators, charter school instructors, and home educators integrate creative writing into their middle and high school level courses. This text is set up in a once a week format, allowing educators to integrate it into their current curriculum easily and, hopefully, seamlessly. The Unit sheets can be printed out and give to students. Additional activities are presented in appendices that teachers can use to present the ideas and provide additional or group activities. Creative Writing for Junior and High School Students is designed as an introductory writing text covering a board range of grades, with a specific focus on creative writing. Educators may want to include additional materials to focus more on different aspects of poetry, storytelling, and critical thinking for higher or more advanced students. Educators can also include the added activities, and separate grammar, and language arts for a complete, semester long English credit class.
