INKBLOTS

By Pat Watson. Covering the elements and genres of creative writing, this well-organized course plan aims to develop the skills and awareness necessary for students to express themselves clearly and eloquently. Sixteen progressive units begin with basics (imagery, characterization, point of view), move on to specific types of writing (descriptive, narrative, expository, interpretive, persuasive), and culminate in creative stories and poetry. Includes warm-up strategies, reproducible student handouts, and examples of students’ work. Grades 6–12. 8½” x 11″. ECS Learning Systems. 92 pages. ©1992.
