The Creative Writer, Level 1: Five Finger Exercises
In this new middle-grades creative-writing curriculum, young writers of fiction and poetry learn vital skills such as point of view, characterization, plotting, dialogue, and description. Simple but innovative exercises encourage young writers to strengthen their vocabulary and become aware of the patterns of sentences. The Creative Writer provides 36 weeks of lessons divided between fiction (organized as weeks 1-18) and poetry (weeks 1-18). Unlike most "how to write" books, The Creative Writer is designed to be used in a mentor/student relationship, with teaching, guidance, and evaluation tips provided for the mentor or teacher. The Creative Writer, Level One can be used as a complement to Peace Hill Press's non-fiction writing book, Writing With Skill, or it can be used on its own.
