Book Summary: Are you puzzled that captivating ideas don’t
necessarily generate a good story? Have you wondered how children can be led through the
stages of story planning to turn their story motifs into vivid imagery? In this book keys
to dynamic writing are presented. You will learn how to use a simple story growth chart to
balance the planning difficulty of assignments with the skill level you expect. Discover
how to paint vivid mental pictures by using the method of "showing" instead of
"telling". Authors start with verb-based language to create a story built on
action. They use the "showing" technique to depict a character’s emotions
and motives, and they use sensory imagery to build effective settings, encounters, and new
experiences. Secondly, uncover how to use books to build a grasp of plot and resolution. |
| Teach
your students the six basic story plot and resolution patterns used by authors. The six
story plots are: copycat, contest, switch, circle, stuck, and transformation. Use the book
lists and the plot and resolution questions to help your class develop a grasp of plot and
resolution and write great stories. This book covers a year’s writing curriculum for
grades one to six. Assignments include: story writing, poetry, newspapers, journals, book
reports, letter writing, reports, essays, autobiographies, biographies, sentences,
paragraphs, and a section on how to write with very beginning writers. Have fun with this
practical guide! |
