Over the last thirty years, English teacher David LeCount has seen the frustration of teachersfrustration with the erosion of choice that they have had in creating their own curriculum, and frustration that students have had little choice in topics for writing. Now, he offers a way to turn that frustration into liberation and inspiration with this collection of quirky, provocative writing prompts designed to release students from standardized writing assignments and encourage student research, reflection, and exploration.David knows kids and he knows writing. He sees creative and expository writing for English, and other subjects, as multidisciplinary opportunities for selfexpression. Thus, his prompts unify diverse fields of knowledge and offer new meaning to them. They also encourage word play, inspire both teachers and students to enjoy their own choices, and discourage the fruitless search for 'the right answer' or the drudgery of working for grades at the expense of discovering meaning and experiencing true delight. Think of the results if you should ask your students to write the following: an encyclopedia entry that describes the fall of the Alamo from the Mexican point of view a transcript of your testimony as a witness of a serious crime a short history of aviation from a pelican's point of view.Much more than a list of topics, Nonstandardized Quests also includes student writing samples woven throughout the prompts. These student responses make the book read like a narrative, a portrait of adolescence in which students find their own voices. It is this kind of 'writing to discover' that allows students to free their imaginations and grow as writers too. Use the prompts and discoveror rediscoverthe thrill of writing, just for the fun of it.
