    HI Carol,

    I wrote the lessons for 5th-7th graders, but I think you could use them with a younger student who WANTS to write. 🙂 Ami

    These look very cool. Doable! And I'm not even a writer 🙂 I see in your lessons they are to copy one quote into the copywork section of their notebook. Where do they find these quotes?

    I have been teaching this class to our homeschool co-op and the kids have LOVED it!  I've had comments from moms about how their kids have been encouraged and excited about their writing. Since I couldn't take the credit,  I promised I would send a comment to you.   Thank you so much for sharing this and really connecting with this age group.  What a blessing to be able to offer it to our students!

    Hi Ami~
    I work for a public library and we are providing a montly creative writing class for children this Spring. Your lesson plans and pdf's are just what I was looking for. Could you please contact me about our public library using them in our program? They are perfect!

    Hi Theresa,

    As long as you are not profitting from using them, they are yours to use! Enjoy! Wish I could be there to help facilitate all those young writers!
