Going Bohemian: Activities That Engage Adolescents in the Art of Writing Well - Tapa blanda

Do you feel "underwhelmed" by your adolescent students' uninspired responses to writing assignments and wish there were a creative way to grab their attention and develop their potential? Then perhaps it's time to "go Bohemian" with unconventional strategies, competitive games, art and multimedia, and indirect approaches to teaching some of the difficult lessons of writing. This collection of 45 Bohemian lesson plans rejects the traditional teacher-dominated approach in favor of "hooks" that interest students and encourage them to participate. Watch your students' talents emerge as they engage in classroom-tested activities around multimedia, sentence structure, vocabulary enrichment, nonfiction, creative writing, point of view and tone, literature, and poetry. Go Bohemian, and instill in your students high literacy standards, an artistic sensibility, and an unshakable belief in the power of words.
