"Structure is a the-world-is-your-oyster kind of thing. The options for structuring a piece of writing to inspire, entertain, and inform are endless. I can be creative, literary, artistic, poetic, humorous, vivid, and suspenseful. I can use metaphor, imagery, narrative arc, voice, or any other tool I’d like. When I write, I’m like a curator at a museum. I get to decide what to focus on and how to present it. So half the fun is figuring out: What is the best way to tell this story? What interesting or clever structure will make this amazing material come to life for readers?"
I love the insights that Elizabeth shares here. I haven't seen any Common Core-related articles dealing with structure, so this article will be very useful.
