Brett Ramseyer’s Creative Writing Program - Full year - Lesson Plans
This entire year’s writing program challenges and energizes students and teacher’s alike. There are many stand alone lessons (more so in semester 1) and many longer projects (more so in semester 2) that culminate in students creating and then selling their own published writing. There are many plans that are used for multiple days and those extensions of time are usually clearly noted. This is the most enjoyable class I ever created that forges students into a family by the end of the year. The
