Download or read book Above and Beyond the Writing Workshop written by Shelley Harwayne and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When writing workshops first blossomed in classrooms, its hallmarks were genuine curiosity, individual choice, quality conversations, and engaging children's literature. A joyous hum of intention, creativity, and craft enlivened the school day. Today's teachers are often faced with a range of obstacles, as new initiatives are embraced, mandates handed down, and scripted programs are purchased. Sometimes teachers must sacrifice the original principles of the writing workshop and lose the creative venue they provide. Above and Beyond the Writing Workshop is filled with original writing challenges designed to bring back the spirit of the original writing workshop model and encourage teachers to enhance it with invention, innovation, and inspiration. Teaching creative writing is not only possible, but an important process in their instruction. Author Shelley Harwayne invites teachers to keep the workshop spirit alive by: Encouraging professional conversations on classroom ideas and methods between colleagues; Developing writing cues that allow young writers to be inquisitive, outspoken, and independent; Showing how high quality writing can make a difference; Offering an inspired and stimulating outlet for students to express their passions. Harwayne's book will help teachers encourage students to write the world around them, which can generate more critical thinking and make for a more well-rounded child.

Book excerpt: There are many times we wonder what would happen if we lost all control over our emotions and acted on them, especially the bad ones. Most of us do not act on our hatred because of our laws and morality, but if those laws and morally werent in play, then what? There were many people who have pushed me to the brink, which made me ponder what I could do to them if I abandoned my morality and just went forward on pure emotion. Thinking of it is disturbing. Acting on it is frightening. Ron is a man who lived a less-than-happy life, but he was a very talented artist. He was so desperate for happiness he went into a marriage blindly. The one saving grace to a horrible marriage is a loving child. Sometimes even having one saving grace cant save you from going to the dark path. And if you do, you forfeit the people who bring light to that darkness. If anyone can walk away with one thing from Ron, its that the light will always destroy the darkness. He learned too late and struggled to recapture that light for just one moment.
