As it was in the last edition, we have set first page as "A" and started "Title page" from "i".
Why is there a space here?
indent title on the second line so it's clear...
This should also be added under Nonfiction as well, the Hixson piece.
insert Hixson
change to "themes of the fourth edition" to avoid repeating "new" twice
The Fiction section is not appearing here... I'm not sure where it went.
I don't think we want his name here!!
AU: \(Global\) Please check if all such headings should \ be set in title case as given in the chapters.
Hyphen added here.
changed to lowercase
hyphen added here
semi colon added here
AU: Perhaps "creative"?
colon added here
AU: Please check if "The" sho\ uld be deleted as it is not a part of the name of university.
35 spelled out here
We have set first page as "A" and started "Title page" from "i". Accordingly page reference for Preface and About the Author is listed here.
AU: This style of this component of cha\ pters is given inconsistently in the contents. Please confirm one style that can be followed consistently throughout.
Content in Chapter 12 were removed at the later phase of the project, accordingly the TOC entries are removed here.

Eight Free Creative Writing Lessons
February 17, 2012 by Ami 17 Comments
I know I throw around the word favorite all the time. But this is the truth: teaching creative writing lessons is my favorite.
I have taught creative writing enrichment for summer school students. I have taught creative writing in various homeschool settings and co-ops. I have taught big students and little students. And I love it.
Since I love to share homeschool co-op class ideas , I have compiled the creative writing lessons from a co-op class that I taught.
Creative Writing Lessons for a Homeschool Co-op Class
First, please remember that any teacher can use these creative writing lessons. You don’t need to be teaching homeschoolers. You can be a classroom teacher or a homeschool teacher at home with one student. You can even be a librarian who needs a fun program series.
Second, I used these creative writing lesson plans with upper elementary students (with maybe a few 7th graders thrown in). However, you can adapt and use them for older students or younger students!
Creative Writing Lesson Plans
Creative writing lesson one.
The first lesson focuses on cliché and metaphor. It prompts students to consider how words matter.
Grab lesson one here .
Creative Writing Lesson Two
The second lesson teaches students about sensory details: why they are important and how to include them in their writing. Students will begin using sensory details to evoke smells and sounds and sights.
Grab lesson two here.
Creative Writing Lesson Three
The third lesson introduces showing vs. telling. Students learn how to recognize authors who utilize showing, and students are able to articulate the difference between showing and telling.
Grab lesson three here.
Creative Writing Lesson Four
The fourth lesson teaches students how to capture images. We use examples of poetry and prose to discuss this important writing skill.
Grab lesson four here.
Creative Writing Lesson Five
The fifth lesson introduces the story elements of character and conflict.
Note: You may choose to split this lesson into two lessons since it covers two big elements. I only had nine weeks with my students, so I had to jam character and conflict together.
Grab lesson five here.
Creative Writing Lesson Six
The sixth lesson introduces the students to point of view and perspective. We have fun reading poems and using pictures to write descriptions from different points of view.
Grab lesson six here.
Creative Writing Lesson Seven
The seventh lesson puts everything we’ve learned together. I read the students some fractured fairy tales, and we watch some, too. Students then use the prewriting activities and their imaginations to begin drafting their own fractured fairy tales.
Grab lesson seven here.
Creative Writing Lesson Eight
The eighth lesson focuses on revision. After a mini-lesson, students partner up for peer editing.
Grab lesson eight here .
For our final class day, students bring revised work, and I host coffee shop readings. This is a memorable experience for students (and their teacher).
Creative Writing Lessons FAQ
Since posting these creative writing lessons, I have had lots of questions. I decided to compile them here in case you have the same question.
Q: What are copywork quotes? A: Copywork quotes are simply great quotes that students copy as part of their homework assignments. You can use any quotes about writing. I’ve included my favorites throughout the printable packs.
Q: Can I use this with a younger or older student? A: Absolutely! Just adapt it to meet the needs of your student.
Q: Can I use this for my library’s programming or my homeschool co-op class? A: Yes! I just ask that it not be used for profit.
Do you have any questions about teaching creative writing? What’s your biggest hang-up when it comes to teaching creative writing? I’d love to hear from you and help you solve the issue.
