maryode Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm teaching a homeschool co-op class on Creative Writing next fall for grades 9-12, and I'm considering using the Creative Writer, with each student purchasing a copy and then going through the assignments as a class. I'm wondering a few things: 1. Would this be workable for a co-op? I was thinking I'd introduce the topic, then we'd potentially work through an assignment or activity from the book as a group. 2. Which level would work best for high-school students? I've taught some of these kids before, and the skill levels are all over the map so I'd love something that can inspire beginners and those who have already delved into creative writing. Also, ideally, I'd like them to work on skills and then use those skills to create short stories, completing at least 2-3 polished short works throughout the year. Would that make sense with this curriculum? I wouldn't be married to the book and would be happy to assign some things independently of it, but I definitely need a guide. 3. Are there grading rubrics or criteria I could use while evaluating papers? I'm a non-fiction writer who's interested in creative writing--but my oldest is 11 so I don't have much practice with high-schoolers. I'd be so grateful for any information on this or any other creative writing curriculum that might work! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
