The Creative Writer Level 3 continues to refine and enhance the writing skills introduced in the previous volumes. Departing from the broad categories of the five essentials of the short story, this level delves into the finer points of technique. With a focus on character development, students will engage in lessons emphasizing vivid and original prose, precision in writing, showing versus telling, and cultivating a distinct narrative voice.
The poetry section explores elements similar to Level 2 but at a quicker pace and through analysis of published poems rather than student-written works. Each section concludes with challenge exercises encouraging students to apply their new skills. Additionally, a section on mentor materials at the end of the book offers teaching hints and tips to support students as they refine their craft.
Balancing instruction in writing techniques with respect for individual creativity, The Creative Writer Level 3: Building Your Craft provides detailed guidance to help students refine their writing over 36 weeks of instruction, covering fiction and poetry. This softcover book spans 292 pages and is suitable for Grades 7-9.
