I was the go-to Creative Writing teacher at my school. When my wife needed an assignment that was a bit more creative, she'd come to me. When other teachers at my school wanted to change things up a bit in their classes, they'd steal one of my ideas. Some of your colleagues may have used some of my lessons, since these assignments were freely available online on Educabana.com until fairly recently. However, I realized that assignments with thousands of hits online provide a good indication of value. You will value these assignments.

Basically, I've taken the entire Creative Composition class and ADDED SEVEN of my favorite extra assignments (also all available on this site).

That means you're getting the steal of a deal on an ENTIRE SEMESTER class, along with The Bogus or Strange but True Website assignment, Video Poem, My Utopia, High School Mascot, Character into Quest, and The Picture is Worth Exactly 1000 Words. You can read those descriptions and see the prices on this site, too.

Buy it all now, with $15 of added assignments (nearly 2 semesters of creative writing ideas), all bundled together in one document, for the price you see today. If I was a starting teacher without a dozen years of insights as to what works and what doesn't, I'd be all over lesson plans like this. Even if you have to make some changes or add some standards here or there, this combo pack will last you a 30-year career as an English teacher.

The classes taught with these assignments included the senior-only Creative Comp and the mostly freshman Creative Writing for Publication. Some of the assignments were tested on my 10th graders, as well.
