Free Indeed Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 My just turned 14 year old son is in 8th grade. He can write reports well on all types of non fiction, but when I ask for a fiction piece of writing he just doesn't like it, nor is he very good at it. We were trying IEW unit 3 and it is like pulling teeth. I do not have to write fiction as an adult, nor am I aware of any careers that would require this- should I worry about this skill?

Gratia271 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I don't think it is critical that students become proficient creative writers, though I require my dc to make their best effort on such assignments. What is not optional in our household is academic writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
