Sentence models for creative writing: A practical resource teaching writing

Bol Partner

Teaching writing at a sentence level is essential to improve writing. Knowing this, I desperately searched for a book packed full of sentence models that I could use to inspire and teach my students. On discovering that no such book existed, I spent the next year pouring through hundreds and hundreds of books to tap into the magic formula of what makes a great sentence. I sorted all the fantastic sentence structures into the creative writing domains through which we can write stories: action, setting, character, inside - feelings, outside - physical effects, thoughts, the senses and dialogue. This book contains hundreds of those sentence models. Each chapter also contains practical advice on effectively teaching the different aspects of story writing. The sentences can be used as creative writing exercises, inspiration for your exemplary text, or ideas for writing lessons. This book will reveal the magic formula behind great writing and give you a secret window into how this writing is created.
