Teacher's Workshop

     Workshop title:           GUIDING CREATIVE WRITERS
Ideal participants:       Middle and high school teachers
                               Instructor:                    Romney Nesbitt, Jenks Public Schools, Jenks, OK

“Creative writing, like artistic ability, is often seen as a talent few possess. I teach students how to write the same way I teach them how to draw: share the basics and then guide them to revise and edit until the beauty emerges.”
Romney Nesbitt

                    Come learn how to guide beginning writers from first idea to creative writing.

Teachers are invited to bring a one, single page sample of uncorrected student writing for an exercise
(maximum 250 words).


Seating is limited so please RSVP to shookum@pldi.net as soon as possible.
