Writing is a skill, and like most skills, it involves lots of practice and patience. Unfortunately, writing is not one of those subjects known for excitement and activities. There are many reasons for that, but the most prevalent is that most instructors don’t know how to incorporate hands-on, interactive experiences into writing instruction. And that’s the result of viewing writing as a separate subject removed from the content it’s meant to share.
Writing is a form of communication, a skill used to share ideas. Do we often stop to think about where these ideas come from? That’s an aspect of writing that often goes neglected, and teachers try to impart the skill of writing in fabricated contexts when the world is at their fingertips! Writing instruction can and should be dynamic, incorporating an exploration of the senses, ideas, critical thinking, and creativity. This is the best way to get young writers interested in writing for the longterm. Not sure how to go about doing that? I’m here to help.
