Summary Of A Passionate Unapologetic Plea For Creative Writing In Schools

I agree with Holland’s claim because it affects me and all the other college students and job seekers. I believe that more should be done in school so that I am prepared when I start looking for a job. I believe that schools should offer more creative writing classes. In the article “A Passionate Unapologetic Plea for Creative Writing in Schools” written by Rebecca Wallace-Seagall, she states “If young people are not learning to write while exploring personal narratives and short fiction, it is because we as educators need more training- or the specifics of the curriculum need development”. I think that if I had more writing classes I would be more prepared and do better in higher level English classes. In my own experiences I found that reading

has helped me improve my writing skills tremendously. Every summer I would be required to read a book for school. This helped improve my writing skills and I learned new words which helped me with my English classes. Reading improves your writing skills; in an article called “16 Ways to Improve Writing Skills” by Dan Shewan, he explains “The best writers are also keen readers, and reading on a regular basis is an easy way to start developing your writing skills. I don’t just mean blog posts, either—diversify your reading material.” I think by reading you are challenging yourself, and you can learn a lot about sentence structure and word choice by reading.
