A systematic tool for introducing young children to writing and their creative development through it. How can students come to love writing? Are there ways to improve their texts in terms of creative characteristics?
The author masterfully connects the concept of creativity with that of creative writing, offering practical knowledge that will enable educators, facilitators of creative writing workshops, parents, and students to implement teaching proposals for creative writing. They will unfold their own experiences and draw conclusions that lead to the redesign of teaching proposals.
Readers - facilitators do not merely reproduce the actions suggested in this book, but rather gain the pedagogical freedom to design and implement creative writing activities themselves.
The author seeks and proposes effective strategies / stimuli for creative writing, dominated by unexpected situations / surprises. The sparks of creativity in children resemble games, and the entire process leading to the production of discourse is a delightful game, far removed from knowledge acquisition and the school routine.
Children will overcome the fear of the blank page, they will produce and organize ideas in the pre-writing stage, and they will create texts containing ideas and opinions that are unique in their worldview.
Moving further, children will acquire skills to think critically, self-evaluate, edit, revise, and rephrase their texts. A sequential transition from the child - consumer of texts, to the child - creator of texts, and further to the child - critic of texts.
