Creativity Flows. Teaching Gives It Shape.
The works that flows in the creative writing classroom can be vast, deep, and sometimes chaotic. Christian high school writing teachers face the additional challenge of keeping a biblical worldview at the center of their teaching. A solid shoreline of informed instruction, gracious communication, and spiritually-focused outlook can keep student writing rooted and grounded as it grows. This collection of resources springs from my experiences as a writing student and a Christian high school English teacher.
