The Art of Imitation
Shields, J. Scott
English Journal, v96 n6 p56-60 Jul 2007
Applying his experiences teaching photography to teaching English, high school teacher J. Scott Shields cultivates students' original writing by promoting imitation. Students learn to develop their literary voices by crafting verse-narratives that mimic the character, plot, and stylistic devices of Dante and Chaucer.
