Teaching creative writing was going to be so easy I say to myself wistfully Because I was just going to make them write things and have them revise things and have them comment on other people's things, and that was going to be It. Unfortunately, I was foiled by the irresistible desire to do more and try to teach more, even if it isn't....necessary? or wanted? by anyone? So we are doing literary terms instead, and then I had them write a little poetry, just a little, and they seemed to enjoy doing that and sharing that, so maybe I was on the right track in the first place after all. I could do some kind of schedule thing where we do terms and use them one day, then talk about a type of writing and try that another day, and then do a longer piece and talk about that the next day. Or something. Getting organized has never been my strong suit, of this I am aware, trust me. If I want to do better and teach more stuff, though, I need to tackle this problem more directly, don't...
