Fire the Imagination - Write On! Dorit Winter

How do we engage students of all ages in lively, precise writing – in  writing creatively, enthusiastically? Here, based on years of classroom  experience, is a practical primer which shows teachers how to guide  their students toward detailed, clear-cut descriptions. Such  practicalities as tracking homework, managing corrections, and  evaluating written work are also considered. Though the emphasis is on  middle school, this approach is applicable to high school and beyond.  Specific examples from lessons, samples of students’ actual writing, as  well as ideas and exercises to avoid the maudlin, the sentimental, the  unbelievable or the bland, will inspire teachers and their students.  Cultivation of imaginative yet clear thinking leads to improved  word-choice and stronger sentences, more fluent paragraphs, stories and  essays. For college, for careers, for life, these are invaluable skills.
