Let’s face it, some kids love to write, while others hate it, and so many others fall somewhere in the middle. How are teachers and homeschooling parents to get their students interested in writing? How does a kid get interested in writing when they don’t even know where to begin?
“Adventure for Young Writers: Writing Projects for 4th to 8th Grade Students” offers a number of writing projects that include a complete story set up with ideas to spur any student’s imagination. It starts off with a chapter describing the book’s set up and how to use the writing projects. Then it jumps right into the story projects most of which are based on historical settings or historical events, though there is one project that definitely falls into the sci-fi genre.
The projects include:
· Azetec Adventures
· A Witness to Martin Luther King’s Dream
· Adventures of and American Immigrant
· Adventures at Sea
· Adventures on the Oregon Trail
· Adventures with Marco Polo, and
· Adventures in Space
Each project begins with a story set up, and provides additional material such as items the student’s characters could use during the story, potential problems (and solutions) for the character to encounter, and some additional facts and information about the time period that could be essential to the story line.
There is no right or wrong way to use this book. The stories could be taken in any order. Or the students could pick and choose whatever story intersts them the most. The main idea is to have fun with the writing process. “Adventures for Young Writers” is available from Amazon in print and Kindle formats at a low affordable price.
