[LIT] Summer Camp/School Classes

[LaRue, Carrie]

I teach a Creative Writing class for 7th/8th during the school year. I read them several myths, talk about the difference between creation myths and explanation myths (why there's thunder, for example), and then I have them write. We use Inspiration software to map out what we do, and then I have them make a PowerPoint for their myth. They share this with the class. They really enjoy it. 
 
Enjoy!!

Hi Everyone,


I'm teaching 2 summer camp/school classes:
1. Creative Writing- including poetry
2. Academic Writing
for ages 10-13. The sessions are 2 weeks long, and classes are 90 minutes each.

Any suggestions? Ideas? Mini-units? Readings to go along with it? Graphic novels?

The camp's theme is mythology.

Thank you,

 Nancy Carroll, MIT
