    About this ebook

    There is a national debate about Common Core and standardized testing. However, when it comes to writing, the discussion is almost irrelevant. Whatever position may be taken on the value of Common Core and standardized testing, the goal of every writing program everywhere is the same: to develop in students the ability to express themselves logically, clearly and effectively.

    The Artist Inside writing development book and the accompanying Teacher's Manual are designed to achieve this universally acknowledged goal.

    Those who wish to advance a classic writing development program will find their tradition richly respected in The Artist Inside system. Those who wish to follow guidelines of the Common Core curriculum will find those standards seamlessly incorporated into the system. The 'gimmick' of The Artist Inside writing development system is simply this: it is engaging.

    Students are invited to use their imagination. They are guided in that use with the introduction of specific tools. Teachers are offered modalities that facilitate student use.

    The goal of all language--spoken, written, signed--is to convey information. Writing may require more discipline than speech but, like speech, it becomes more fluent with practice. This is what The Artist Inside system promotes.

    The first challenge in any writing program is to get students writing. Extend an invitation, not a challenge. Offer guidance, not rigid structure. With this approach, the skill will evolve, as all language does in the proper environment.

      Helping Students Become Independent Learners

      Contrary to popular belief, the primary job of a teacher is not to teach but rather to facilitate learning. We could argue that the more a teacher teaches, the less the student learns, or at least, the less capable the student will be of learning. Wh

      Teacher's Manual The Artist Inside A Writing Development Book - Rhythm Prism

      Goals:

      Encourage writing fluency

      +Stimulate interest in the immediate environment

      +Relate larger world events to events in the student's life

      +Help the student organize essay-length material

      +Foster writing organization skills for larger projects

      +Encourage students to integrate visual and written expression

      +Foster the use of research to support and advance a premise

      Methodology:

      +Bring magazines with vivid pictures to each class. These may be used to stimulate the imagination. They may also be used to cut and paste if students wish to do that as part of an art project.

      +Suggest students consult supplementary material, such as field guides, to augment classroom research.

      +Encourage the use of a variety of media.

      +Access the web during lessons to help students find information that may not be readily available to them.

      +Guide students in independent Internet research, if that resource is available.

      +Instruct students to keep a record of sources and to credit appropriately.

      +Review the writing tips in the appendix of The Artist Inside before beginning workshop sessions.

      +Decide when introduction of writing tips would be most helpful. Tips #1 (First Paragraph), #2 (Rough Draft) and #3 (Writing an Outline) might be addressed in early sessions. These tips will help students create organized pieces from the outset.

      +All Sample Pictures in the book may be copied and distributed as needed.

      Guiding Principle: Privacy and Student Comfort

      +Throughout this writing manual many personal questions are asked. The goal is to prod a student into writing creatively. However, some students may not be comfortable sharing personal information. Home circumstances vary. Emphasize to students at the beginning of each exercise that they are to write about only those personal things with which they feel comfortable. In every case they may imagine places and events rather than describe true facts in their lives. They never have to explain why they have chosen this course. Tell them, as writers in your class, they have license to be
