Dynamic Writing 3 Tyrean Martinson

An important piece of the methodology in this book, and in my own writing life, is daily practice."Nulla dies sine line"-"Not a day without a line drawn," is a quote attributed to Apelles des Cos, a famous Greek painter from 4th Century B. C., but I believe that this quote applies to modern day writers, as well as artists. Daily practice is essential to any skill, and is especially important to writing. This curriculum is designed to create daily writing habits. Journaling may be informal, but it helps give writers a place to play with words on a daily basis. Journaling mixed with formal writing assignments helps a writer develop their voice and style, and then put those into practice within their formal writing assignments. Due to the time constraints of students and their need to study multiple subjects, the assignments given to students are based on a single writing session a day, in either formal or informal writing.

Writing assignments included in Dynamic Writing 3 include creative memoirs, formal emails, timed essays, narrative essays, short fiction, literary analysis, modern poetry, book reviews, classification essays, persuasive essays, speech writing, college application essays, research essays, resumes, and business letters.
