Experiment with Fiction. The Reading/Writing Teacher's Companion Series.
Graves, Donald H.
Showing how fiction is a natural genre for children, this book helps teachers experiment with 10-minute fictional occasions, write with the children, and meld work in writing fiction with the reading program. The book includes a series of "actions"--experiments for personal growth and discovery in the classroom. Chapters in the book are: (1) Experiment with Fiction; (2) Fiction Is for Us--First; (3) See How Writers Work with Fiction; (4) Experiment along with Children; (5) Respond to Children's Fiction; and (6) A New Look at Children's Fiction.
