That does sound interesting... Can you say a little more about why you are interested in incorporating creative writing into a social science classroom? Is there specific content or specific skills you are thinking of pairing it with?

I have found two interesting articles where creative writing was utilized in History classrooms to improve student's content knowledge. I'd be happy to send them via email; Feel free to send us a message at TheWRITECenter@gmail.com and I can respond with links to the aritcles.
