Final Project

As a final project for this class, I have created a pdf document for a beginning creative writing class aimed at high school students. As with most lesson plans, this unit could be used with other age groups, depending on the students' abilities.

The pdf is divided into two sections: creating characters and writing stories. I think it would be best to use the lessons in the order they are presented, but either section could be used independently, and any order could be utilized.

All of the example writing is work I did in my CI5410 "Teaching Creative Writing" class at the University of Minnesota during the Spring Semester of 2010 with Thom Swiss.

I hope this helps my classmates and saves everyone a little time when creating new lesson plans for creative writing.

Apparently, I cannot upload files to this blog, so I have linked to my class wiki where you can download the pdf file.
