The Lost Tools of Writing - Level 1
by The Circe Institute Author
Good writing does not spring up from formulas or systems. There is no "secret" or "break-through" method that will make your students good writers or you a good writing teacher. Good writing is the product of dedicated practice developing key skills. To write well one must look at it like an art or a craft that demands careful attention and persistent hard work. In fact, learning to write well is not so different from learning to play the piano or sculpt a human figure or shoot a three point shot in basketball. The Lost Tools of Writing™ uses time-tested exercises as tools that will guide you and your student as you make the effort to become better writers and better writing teachers. This program is based on the idea that all writers (from 14 year old students to Pulitzer price winners) face three universal problems: every writer has to come up with good ideas, every writer has to organize those ideas clearly, and every writer has to express those ideas effectively.
