The idea behind this course is to help educators, charter school instructors, and home educators integrate creative writing into their middle and high school level courses. This text is set up in a once a week format, allowing educators to integrate it into their current curriculum easily and, hopefully, seamlessly. The Unit sheets can be printed out and give to students. Additional activities are presented in appendices that teachers can use to present the ideas and provide additional or group activities. Creative Writing for Junior and High School Students is designed as an introductory writing text covering a board range of grades, with a specific focus on creative writing. Educators may want to include additional materials to focus more on different aspects of poetry, storytelling, and critical thinking for higher or more advanced students. Educators can also include the added activities, and separate grammar, and language arts for a complete, semester long English credit class.
