Exciting Announcement: Lesson Plans Available Soon!
Dear Teachers, Homeschoolers, Parents: This one’s for you! I know how hard you work to bring quality content to your classroom and to your home instruction if you are a homeschooler or parent who works to supplement your child’s school writing curriculum. In order to lighten your load, I’m very excited—THRILLED actually—to announce that I am currently working on making available for purchase my Fearless Dragon Writers’ creative writing lessons! This plan has been a long time in the making, so I’m VERY EXCITED to tell you that I am VERY CLOSE to publishing my first batch of lessons, here on my website! (I have over 100 lessons, so I’m going to publish new lessons frequently to provide variety for you! Check back often!)
The first batch of lessons features three of my favorite lessons I have taught as part of my afterschool program: 1) Fractured Fairy Tales and Perspective using Jon Scieszka’s “The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!”; 2) Settings and Texture using Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are”; and 3) Personal Narrative using Jamie Lee Curtis’s “My Brave Year of Firsts”. No doubt you are already familiar with these fabulous books, but if not, check them out now, ahead of my lesson plans so you can familiarize yourself with these as they are wonderful ‘mentor-texts’ to teach writing concepts to your students. (Or your children, if you are homeschooling or looking to supplement your district’s writing program). (*Please note: All links are provided for your convenience. These are Amazon affiliate links.

Another Exciting Development: I’m also equally THRILLED to announce that I have created a Fearless Dragon Writers’, LLC ‘Writer’s Block Kit’—for you to create your very own version of the ‘Writer’s Block’ box I use (with much success) in my teaching! This ‘Writer’s Block Kit’ provides simple instructions for you to create this ‘Writer’s Block’ box for classroom or home use! This is a tangible teaching tool containing over 75 Writing Tips from published authors! These are the best tips I have found in over ten years of teaching, all culled and tested—now available for you inside this kit!
Whether they want to admit it or not, ALL WRITERS struggle with Writer’s Block. It is difficult when you are a writer frozen in front of a blank page; it’s equally difficult to watch your students and children struggle with Writer’s Block, too. With that said, I’m so happy to provide a tool to help combat this ‘occupational hazard’. I’m also pleased to report, this has proven an impressive tool to use with RELUCTANT WRITERS! (And it provides for interesting classroom conversation.) I am positive you will get so much use out of this; I cannot wait to make this available to you! (Just putting the finishing touches on this digital product now. Please check back soon to purchase your kit. Thank you. Also, you will need a shoebox to create this ‘Writer’s Block’ box, so if you do not have one readily available, I grant you permission to buy yourself a new pair of shoes—it’s all for the noble cause of teaching writing! Completely justified!)
So, that’s it for the updates at this time. Please check back often as I am working as diligently as possible to provide you with access to my favorite Fearless Dragon Writers, LLC lessons. (Lessons I have taught with children ages 8 - 13, for over a decade now.)
Also, please remember, if I can answer any questions, do not hesitate to reach out through this website’s contact page.
Thank you, happy teaching, and happy writing!
Best always,
Andrea Felcone
