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.
