Children can write - some better than others, of course - but they all have the raw materials floating around in their lives. This fun series is designed to bring order to those raw materials, help students sort and arrange that which is already familiar, and use the results to create stories. The activities develop students' abilities in observing, concluding, recalling, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating and help build important divergent and convergent thinking skills. As an added advantage, students have a end product of which they will be proud! 80 pages each. Appropriate for grades 5-10. Create-a-Comedy guides students in analyzing and creating humor. It covers the elements of comedy and types of humor and then leads students step by step through the process of writing a situation comedy. It ends with story starters, story enders, and other suggestions for humorous writings. |
