Essential Question- Why does a writer choose a particular form of writing to communicate most effectively?
|
Writer's Notebooks
Students will be writing in their writer’s notebooks on a daily basis. This is a place to generate new ideas about life, experiences, and wonderings. From these new ideas will come topics students can develop into poetry, short stories, essays, etc. Students will also be using their writer’s notebooks to explore various writing skill activities and to develop their own vocabulary dictionary.

Writer's Workshop
Students will be writing consistently in writer’s workshop each week, practicing the various purposes of real-world writing, analyzing exemplars, and pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing at least two papers per quarter. Students will sometimes choose which pieces they would like to publish and at other times I will require a paper requiring a specific skill. Students will have opportunities for peer response, meeting in writing groups and/or pairs. Self-evaluations will also be used for every published piece to help students acknowledge their hard work and growth, and to set goals for future writing pieces.
