Imaginative Teaching through Creative Writing: A Guide for Secondary Classrooms

Editat de Dr Amy Ash, Dr Michael Dean Clark, Teaching Assistant Chris Drew
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2022
Growing out of recent pedagogical developments in creative writing studies and perceived barriers to teaching the subject in secondary education schools, this book creates conversations between secondary and post-secondary teachers aimed at introducing and improving creative writing instruction in teaching curricula for young people. Challenging assumptions and lore regarding the teaching of creative writing, this book examines new and engaging techniques for infusing creative writing into all types of language arts instruction, offering inclusive and pedagogically sound alternatives that consider the needs of a diverse range of students.

With careful attention given to creative writing within current standards-based educational systems, Imaginative Teaching through Creative Writing confronts and offers solutions to the perceived difficulty of teaching the subject in such environments. Divided into two sections, section one sees post-secondary instructors address pedagogical techniques and concerns such as workshop, revision, and assessment before section two explores hands-on activities and practical approaches to instruction.

Focusing on an invaluable and underrepresented area of creative writing studies, this book begins a much-needed conversation about the future of creative writing instruction at all levels and the benefits of collaboration across the secondary/post-secondary divide.

Recenzii

The authors of this book are highly cognizant of the pressures of standardization and utilitarianism in today's educational scene. They make compelling arguments about how creative writing addresses required state standards, and not just in the realm of writing.
Contributors to this volume prove beyond any doubt that creative writing belongs in the secondary classroom, offering research-based conceptual groundwork and mapping standards for inspiring activities and practices, presented by the teachers who developed them ... Secondary teachers will find both inspiration for developing assignments and a solid theoretical framework for scaffolding, assessing, and reporting about them to administrators.
Imaginative Teaching is a teacher's book. It is for and about teaching and learning led by voices both dynamic and inspired. I dare you to read it. Because you can't just read it; you will write and think beside it for days. Your classroom will be upended by the smart thinking here. And that's important, because sometimes changing students' learning outcomes requires a major shift in teacher culture-our culture. But that is the gift of this book: an invitation to experience the joy and expansive thinking that these classroom teachers have realized in courses labeled AP to remedial. As poet and teacher Tim Staley says in a chapter I wish I had written, "Poetry should be a break from the typical horrors of high school." Reading, writing, and teaching can be. Imaginative Teaching shows us the moves that will create a home for creative writing in our plans, our notebooks, and forever, in our students.
