A lot here to talk about. So say you wanted your students to write a narrative or reflective essay focusing in on one particular moment...

Well. Here's what we've got: at least two pieces of model prose (Langston Hughes' "Salvation" and Paula Grace's "Butterflies") with handouts for the other pieces (Rau's "By Any Other Name", Dillard's An American Childhood, and an excerpt from Zinsser's Writing Well) I use. These handouts cover the bases: the writing assignment, its rubric, prewriting tasks, sentence experimentation, editing, analysis of the texts, etc. You'll have to fill in the pieces with your own twist on instruction, but the ideas for creative personal writing are here.

FYI: As a rule, my zip files for teaching a novel do not lay out step-by-step plans how to teach the book--that's up to you. Instead, what I give you is all of my resources to use at your disposition; some of the resources here I didn't even end up using, though I figured you might find them useful. Use these files to enhance your teaching style and your students' learning needs...

A bit too specific to particular pieces of writing which are not supplied (only the Langston Hughes piece is provided).
