ABSTRACT
There can’t be a teacher in the land who hasn’t heard this age-old refrain from a child staring at a blank sheet of paper:‘I don’t know what to write about!’ Well, in this lesson we’ll be exploring various ways in which children can address that problem. They will learn about:
‘Borrowing’ ideas from other stories.
Getting ideas from newspapers.
Listening to people.
Being observant.
Using the ‘unexpected’ technique.
