The Let Them Write Seriesis a classroom-tested, teacher-friendly resource for Language Arts teachers of grades 4 through 8. The program is organized in nine sections, each presenting a buffet of from five to nine 1- or 2-week modules. Each classroom-ready module consists of a series of comprehensive, easy-to-follow lesson plans complete with reproducible handouts and cross-curricular extensions, together creating a proven successful template for the teaching of writing and literary analysis skills.
Character Development focuses on the creation of fully-realized, multidimensional protagonists and antagonists. Students practice first-drafting, editing, polishing, and sharing original paragraphs, scenes, and stories featuring the characters they have brought to life.
The textcan be implemented in the classroom alone or in tandem with the two other titles in the Let Them Write Series —SETTING AND DESCRIPTION and PLOT BUILDING.
