Mary Osborne (40-year veteran public school educator and staff developer specializing in UDL-styled curricula and instruction for literacy, reading, and creative writing in Pinellas County Florida, reviewed this engineered step by step writing AP and College Readiness Creative Writing course that every writer including academic writers should take because nobody wants to read a boring research report when they can read an exciting one). She had this to say–
The course makes a promise to the writers in the beginning and with support, depth, specificity, and passion, it keeps that promise and so much more!
So much to adore besides the pictures, graphics, and colors. Explanations and demonstrations of EVERYTHING, but especially the similes, metaphors, and analogies used to create mental pictures for the writers, such as unpack a box of goodies (stories); the mazes, puzzles, plot graphs (new to me,BTW)! The use of the Wilfred Hicks excerpts – amazing story and amazing examples especially for rising college freshmen, not my usual genre, but captivating nevertheless!
Deconstruction of authentic writing provides not only effective writing lessons, but also the idea and importance of reading any written text with a writer’s eye. A life-long gift!
