What is a Theme-Story?
Children tend to stray from main ideas when writing.
- Reading and then writing about Theme-Stories increases children’s ability to remain focused since their writing primarily consists of their perception of events occurring in the stories. This technique encourages children to pay greater attention to prose details and to give feedback regarding their readings.
- When children are focused, poetry-writing can become a fun and easy writing improvement tool capable of assisting them in any writing assignment.
- Poetry-writing provides a form of instant gratification that is reinforced when children see their work printed on MSAP Designer Pages.
- The Theme-Story System allows children to gain confidence in their overall writing ability. The more poems they write using Theme-Stories as a guide, the more their ability to remain focused improves. Eventually, their ability to focus on their own ideas, as opposed to left and right field straying, proliferates.
- MyStoriesAndPoems encourages children to read poetry books, and to utilize resources such as dictionaries, thesauruses, synonym and antonym guides, and rhyming aides in paper form and online. Practicing poetry writing in conjunction with utilizing educational resources intensifies children’s learning experiences.
- Last, but not least, on the list of reasons MSAP created the Theme-Story Poetry-Writing Technique is that the owner, R. Renee' Bembry, thoroughly enjoys teaching children to write poetry and believes it is important to keep the arts alive!
Who is R. Renee' Bembry?
- I, R. Renee' Bembry, am an up and coming author who's spent a number of years perfecting my ability to write novels and poems. Now I'd like to share that knowledge with all who are willing to learn from it.
