Creat(ing) Writing using PicLits
Submitted by blsams on Sat, 01/24/2009 - 13:39When I was a high school English teacher, I often tried to incorporate creative writing into study of contemporary poetry. I think creative writing is an important end-in-itself, but I also believe that as students struggle with and enjoy crafting poetry or short stories, they might attend with more care and appreciation to the details of other textual landscapes. Good reading assists good writing, but the reverse is true too.
