The Writer’s Blueprint empowers your students to:
Cultivate creativity.
WRITING IS AN ART. Writing is more than facts and figures, 5 paragraphs and a bunch of rules. Good writing is fueled by a vision, a strong point of view and the exercise of multiple soft skills. The “Finish the Drawing” exercise, at the start of each chapter, challenges students to embrace expressing themselves through writing.
Drawing requires imagination, patience, and thoughtfulness, as does writing in both its planning and building phases. The idea is that you come to value the writing process as a work of art.
