Creative Writing Innovations Breaking Boundaries in the Classroom [Paperback]

When teachers experiment, students benefit. When students gain confidence to pursue their own literary experiments, creative writing can become a life-changing experience.

With chapters written by experienced teachers and classroom innovators,Creative Writing Innovationsbuilds on these principles to uncover the true potential of the creative writing classroom. Rooted in classroom experience, this book takes teaching beyond the traditional workshop model to explore topics such as multi-media genres, collaborative writing and field-based work, as well as issues of identity.
