I teach a Creative Writing class for 7th/8th during the school year. I read them several myths, talk about the difference between creation myths and explanation myths (why there's thunder, for example), and then I have them write. We use Inspiration software to map out what we do, and then I have them make a PowerPoint for their myth. They share this with the class. They really enjoy it. Enjoy!!

Creative Writing- including poetry 2. Academic Writing for ages 10-13. The sessions are 2 weeks long, and classes are 90 minutes each. Any suggestions? Ideas? Mini-units? Readings to go along with it? Graphic novels? The camp's theme is mythology. Thank you, Nancy Carroll, MIT If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you. _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org <http://www.literacyworkshop.org/> To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
