CREATIVE WRITING
CREATIVE WRITING CAN BE USED IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS:• As a form of therapy for children.• To detect further issues in the life of a child.• Teaches them it is okay to think outside of the box, and grow comfortable
with themselves.• It helps students to develop good writing skills.• Allows students to have a break from standard and routine school work. • Challenges them on a mental and imaginative level.
CREATIVE WRITING HOW IT WORKS
• Before creative writing can effectively be used in all these different ways students must first understand how to use their imagination in writing.
• In my opinion, I think that teachers should have creative writing exercises often.
• Starting young: By the time kids are in preschool they know what a story is and they know how to make them up. As they learn and grow creative writing skills can be developed by allowing students to have a daily journal, free write for 10 minutes everyday about whatever they want, or even talk with a partner to make up a fun creative story.
CREATIVE WRITINGAS A FORM OF THERAPY
• Creative writing allows children to freely express how they feel by writing about it or allowing it to be represented by something else in their story.
• It allows them to escape from whatever issues they are having and use their imagination freely.
• Therapists often use this technique as a way to detect how children are feeling about one thing or in general.
CREATIVE WRITINGAS A WAY TO LEARN WHAT ISSUES CHILDREN ARE
DEALING WITH
• Kids who are being abused or struggling with different things in their lives will often express it in their writings by talking about a similar situation.
• Therefore it can be used in the classroom if a teacher thinks a child is having a rough time with something outside of school, have the student write a story.
CREATIVE WRITING THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
• Many schools have extremely structured days for kids with intense work all day.
• This is not a bad thing but we cannot forget that imagination and creativity is just as important.
• For some kids, math, science, english and other core subjects are not where their full potential is.
• For all children it gives them a chance to think differently: What if the sky was purple? Why can’t people live underwater? What if we lived on a different planet?
• Creativity gives the mind an outlet while allowing for new ways of thinking.
CREATIVE THINKING GOOD WRITING SKILLS
• Studies have shown that students who keep a journal or are assigned to write on a daily basis excel in things like grammar, sentence structure, and descriptive writing.
• Creative writing can be presented to students and teachers as a fun way to practice writing skills.
• It can also be very beneficial when working on using adjectives because it is important to be descriptive in creative writing.

CREATIVE WRITING GIVING KIDS A BREAK FROM STANDARD SCHOOL
WORK
• Creative writing challenges a different part of the brain • Allow them to work in groups from time to time to write stories.• Giving kids a break helps them to focus better when they return• Using creative writing as a buffer between other lessons can help to give
students time to exercise the creative side of their brain.
CREATIVE WRITINGACCEPT THE CHALLENGE
