Genre: Informational writing
Source: I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions
expressed here are my own.
Chapter 1 gets you right into the writing. The author of
this book gives ten writing prompts and then does something wonderful. She asks
two or three questions about the prompt to help move the writer forward. That
is one thing my students often struggle with. They choose a prompt but don’t
know how to move forward.
Chapter two deals with moving forward when you get writer’s
block. She offers a lot of hints and tips to help you with this problem. Then
you get ten more writing prompts.
Chapter three dealt with the elements of a story. You know
what I am talking about. You create a world, and then populate that world with
characters you have created. Then you
are given more tips and finally ten more writing prompts.
Chapter four is where the real work begins. You’ve written a
story and this chapter teaches you how to make it better through editing and
revision. This of course is followed by more tips and then ten more prompts.
This book is beneficial for children and adults alike. I can
see me using this in my classroom at school. I highly recommend this book
