Summary
"Creating Writers is a practical writing manual for teachers to use with upper primary and lower secondary level pupils that covers poetry, fiction and non-fiction. It offers opportunities for children to: examine models of writing and learn from professional authors how text is developed and crafted; write widely in various forms and genres and for varying purposes and audiences; consider the inherent elements of poetry (image, rhythm, rhyme), fiction (narration, plot, characterisation) and non-fiction (structure, media, audience); and enjoy and explore their own creativity."--BOOK JACKET
