Storycraft: How to teach narrative writing

Written by two fiction writers and English teachers with over 40 years’ combined experience in education, Storycraft will satisfy a hunger in classrooms beyond just those of English departments – helping pupils to problem-solve creatively and to carve out originality in their work. The book packs in expert advice relating to idea generation and the nature of story, as well as tips on effective pre-exam behaviours, neatly packaged together with off-the-peg activities that can be used in the classroom immediately.
