Creative GED Prep

From LiteracyTentWiki

The Thinking GED Classroom, by Barbara Wickwire and Wendy Quinones, an article in the All Write News, the Adult Literacy Resource Institute, January 2004, Vol. XX, No.3. http://alri.org/newsletters/january04issue.pdf

Concerning creativity, here is a great resource: Harry Noden's book, Image Grammar. This English book was written for ~ 6th grade classroom and encompasses things like metrics for parallelism, graphical arts as an impetus for writing an essay, and so on. Please check out this link for some pictures you can use to stimulate students writing an essay. I found this book when writing my thesis for college where I looked for ways to use Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence theory in the Basic Writing classroom. http://www3.uakron.edu/noden/web/students/index.html
