Kalmia Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I just discovered this real gem which looks like it would be very appealing and relevant to high school creative writing students. It is not a curriculum per se, but a "discussion between" teacher and student. One chapter is the teacher explaining an element of fiction and the next chapter shows how it is incorporated into a short story or chapter. It seems to go beyond the typical creative writing tips to include serious and thoughtful writing instruction that responds to typical struggles of the developing writers and goes far beyond just getting words on the page. From Fact to Fiction by Edmund Ware and Robeson Bailey https://archive.org/stream/fromfacttofictio00smit#page/n5/mode/2up There is one of those scanned reprints of this book available on Amazon as well. http://www.amazon.com/Fact-Fiction-Classic-Reprint/dp/B0093OUGU8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418310785&sr=8-1&keywords=edmund+ware+from+fact+to+fiction&pebp=1418310788370 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalmia Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I can't get archive.org to come up at all right now. Hopefully, it will be working again soon. It is a very useful site for free online books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
