About the Book

Holding thought loops, metaphoric maneuvers, startling juxtaposition, and clever catachresis, a guided journal allows students of the art of discourse a place to test the waters before leaving safe harbor. Nancy Dafoe’s guided journal is designed to complement her book Breaking Open the Box: A Guide for Creative Techniques to Improve Academic Writing and Generate Critical Thinking, but it may be used independently from that text by composition instructors and writing teachers interested in helping their students develop, practice, and master creative techniques and skills in order to advance and enliven writing. The design of Dafoe’s guided journal—featuring teacher and student sides—is intended to make it easy for writing instructors to work with their students on individual concepts. This guided journal contains models and exemplars, as well as encourages explorations in language. Skilled academic writers, essayists, and novelists have long known that savvy application of poetic techniques and practice in language play makes for better writing in every genre and for more powerful rhetoric.

Review :
'Playing with language and incorporating techniques changes not only how students write but how they think about writing,' author Nancy Dafoe tells us in her latest book, Writing Creatively: A Guided Journal to Using Literary Devices. Dafoe’s new book looks at writing and the process of understanding not only as a guided journal, but also, and especially, as a guided journey.It is a journey deftly guided by Dafoe through demonstration notes to teachers and to students, and through examples of literature that appear in the book in order to illuminate the goals of the journey. 'Improving writing is a life-long process,' Dafoe notes. So is the journey that she sets before us; it is a journey that begins and continues with what discover in ourselves, our students, and our writing. Breaking Open the Box is a text that reminds all educators to remain focused on creativity in the classroom. Writing Creatively: A Guided Journal to Using Literary Devices, Dafoe’s new book, provides that rare space in pedagogical writing: a place to meaningfully apply my creativity within Dafoe's framework. These journals are appropriate for writing students in the most basic skills classes to more advanced creative writing classes. Excellent models are provided to inspire students and instructors to play with the various creative writing techniques. Even reluctant writers will find themselves producing journal entries they take pride in. In a time where creativity and practicality are needed in classroom writing practice more than ever, Writing Creatively: A Guided Journal to Using Literary Devices offers a refreshing approach to these needs. Whether you teach English or are looking to inspire students to write effectively in other disciplines, Writing Creatively will not disappoint.
