We will focus on creative writing as a response to reading fiction. What if the characters in stories (and characters outside the stories, too!) wrote to each other? What would they write? And what would they write in their private diaries? We’ll show how getting learners to write letters, journals, diaries and even poems provides valuable practice in both written fluency and reading comprehension and interpretation.
