Join our club to help find your voice as an author! As a classroom teacher in public schools, Mrs. Rebecca has helped many students develop their writing through Writing Workshop over the years. Writing Workshop is a student-centered framework for teaching writing that is based on the idea that students learn to write best when they write frequently, for extended periods of time, and on topics of their own choosing. Each class will begin with a brief whole-group mini-lesson to teach a focus skill of the week. Focus skills will be based on the needs of the students, and students will be encouraged to use these skills in their writing. We will spend a good deal of the remainder of class in Writer’s Workshop. Whether it’s a short story or an assignment for another class, students will bring any piece they are working on. Mrs. Rebecca will also have writing prompts on-hand for students who are “stuck” without a topic. We will spend time interacting with one another and Mrs. Rebecca (one-on-one and in small groups) while going through the 5 steps of the writing process. Students will be encouraged to read their pieces to the class that are both in-progress and completed. This class will not only help students become more proficient authors, but it will also help students learn how to give/receive constructive feedback to/from others.

Individual classes every Friday at 9:30am. Come once, or come every week
