Creating a Hands-On Writer's Workshop: Grades 3-5 Part 2
In this class, educators will learn how to set up a daily Writer's Workshop time that includes interesting hands-on activities. In addition, educators will gain ideas in order to better create lesson plans for many types of writing that scaffold instruction for different learning styles. A daily Writer's Workshop time allows students to experience writing with hands-on, interactive activities rather than just journal writing. Modeling of the types of writing shows differences and similarities between them and, when done several weeks at a time, improves editing skills and understanding of each type. In addition, a daily Writer's Workshop time allows students time to share and learn from each other as well as practice reading like a writer. this class is great for teaching partners too!
