Writers Wrkshp for Classroom

Participants will learn the relevance of teaching students (K-12) to write, using the entire writing process, as well as to engage in a Writers Workshop. In order to truly understand the value of the writing process and the Writers Workshop toward the development of a writer, each course participant will examine his/her life as a writer and how this parallels with K-12 development. Various writing genres as described in the Common Core State Standards will be analyzed and explored. Additionally, each course participant will discover the importance of writing in each content subject and at various grade levels and will learn about and participate in writing-to-learn activities.
