Write Out of the Classroom is a ground-breaking, highly
practical book which provides teachers and creative writing tutors
with great ways of tapping into the huge inspirational and
educational potential of the richly diverse world beyond the
classroom walls.
Effective learning occurs when the process feels exciting,
inspiring and real, and there is nothing more stimulating and real
than the real world itself. Working with groups in interesting and
evocative settings can generate exceptional participant
involvement. Well-led locational brainstorming in such places
increases vocabulary and produces an astonishing freshness of
observation, ideas, language, plot and metaphor. Teachers commonly
notice a quantum leap in writing quality arising from these
sessions.
Based on the author s extensive experience in developing and
leading out-of-classroom intelligent observation and writing
workshops, this unique book steers educators through the subtleties
of guiding thoughtful data collection sessions in varied
environments; selecting appropriate and motivational places and
forms of writing, and running sessions linked to specific creative
and factual writing tasks.
