THREAD: Currently teaching Creative Writing: one of my absolutely favourite things to teach!

Here are a few creative writing image prompts and tasks that may be of use to people, utilising some widely used structures.

[We Need Diverse Books @diversebooks]

It's #BannedBooksWeek, and we're starting out with a rundown of action items everyone can take to fight censorship and support diverse banned books. Book bans and challenges have been at a historic high, and are only increasing. 🧵

[Nick Tierce @nickytea]

An injustice has been righted.

The full-length version of THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, with "When Love is Gone" reinstated, is coming to Disney+ on December 11th!

(The negative is still lost, but they managed to find a second-generation interpositive to scan in 4K.)

[Amanda @Pandamoanimum]

The final dance in Dirty Dancing, but they’re dancing to The Muppet Show theme tune.

[Siri Nelson @SiriLeen]

This has to be the best account I follow!

[Count von Count @CountVonCount]

Three thousand four hundred sixteen!

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

When they moved to ban the Pulitzer Prize winning “Maus” from a Tennessee school district, they cited nudity as one of the reasons for the ban.

It must be noted, these are nude MICE. They are angry that the MICE don’t have CLOTHES.

@egmetti9 It is the polite thing to do, I think most Siri’s would appreciate it. 😀 I often say “Thank you” to our Google.

[Project LIT Community @ProjectLITComm]

And that’s a wrap on our #ProjectLITBookClub Winter Reveal! Grateful for the students, educators, and authors who celebrated with us! 📚❤️🎁

[NAMLE @MediaLiteracyEd]

Hi educators! 📝 The @newyorktimes has published their annual flexible, eight-unit writing curriculum for teens. The units are applicable to different genres of writing, and use real-world resources & media from the Times. Learn more here: https://t.co/YeX7nMhm7I

[Siri Nelson @SiriLeen]

@egmetti9 Haha! Yes! Why is this still a struggle?

[Siri Nelson @SiriLeen]

@JohnJayTylerJr I think this connects to some of your thoughts on getting students to enjoy reading rather than making it a chore.

[edutopia @edutopia]

This school year, there’s a valuable opportunity to rethink—and ultimately retire—obsolete reading practices. 📚

Folks are thinking teachers can indoctrinate kids, meanwhile teachers know we can’t even get kids to bring a pencil to class...

[NealShusterman @NealShusterman]

Fans of #Unwind -- Check it out! The whole printed organ angle in the later books is no longer fiction! https://t.co/9ZAbhlSQ0H

You didn't think I'd send him off without my own departure ceremony, did you? 👋🏻🌈🎶 #SeasonsOfTrump

[SchoolLibraryJournal @sljournal]

One school library's Graffiti Books program lets students connect and have "conversations" by writing in books. It also keeps some previously weeded titles in the stacks.
