Description
Do you have a reluctant writer that needs to build writing skills or even an excited writer who wants to hone their skills? This writing resource provides an engaging way to teach and to fortify writers both young and old. This is a brief text that teaches story writing in a 3-step approach:
- you are introduced to a writing direction [concept]
- the author provides a personal example in a writing excerpt [Can You See…]
- you are given the challenge to practice and use the skill [Your Turn].
The writing direction takes about 11 lessons starting from creating a character, developing a problem or situation, creating tension, to resolution. Each lesson then ends with a ‘Your Turn' prompt as you create, develop, and write about your character as you write a story on your own paper or computer while you read. This entertaining short book takes the reader through developing character storylines through outlining and follow through. Pgs. 73 | Paperback ~Rebecca
