Rip the Page!: Adventures in Creative Writing

Good

Product arrived in excellent condition. As described

Well put together and encouraging and fun for young minds.

I'm teaching a Creative Writing Class for a Homeschool-Co-op. My main focus is poetry and associated word activities, as well as activities that stretch the mind, looking to help kids add more description, feeling and more. I found this book at my local library, it was SO GOOD I had to buy it, so I did! I'm using this book to use as main activities for thinking outside of the box, to put their pen and mind to work in a creative fashion. This book is loaded with FUN and creative writing ideas! It's one fun assignment after the next!! I love the crazy, goofy or silly ideas - mixed in with other mind-stretching ideas that will make my creative writing class a TON OF FUN for kids! The book is full of fresh & fun ideas... One after the next, after the next, after the next, and next and next-next... NEXT... OH is that one of the activities? Word repeating!! OK so it's super-duper-fun... It's suduperfun... It's Sudufun... OH A NEW WORD!! Another activity! It really is worth it for every student to have a copy of this book. I believe that it will really help the students grow in their abilities!

Wonderful book! Bought it for the writing prompts for late elementary through middle school students. I love the originality of the ideas and the comments from authors.

I run a creative writing workshop for children and if I am stuck I dip into this book for inspiration. In one activity they have to write a huge list of words in a spiral on a page, without any 'fingerspaces'. Then they have to try and say the whole thing as one word. I add, in one breath to the instruction, which adds some fun.

Great book with a variety of writing prompts. My daughter has been very resistant to writing, but has been willing to give some of these ideas a try!
