This class will follow a mini-lesson Writer's Workshop approach: 1. Introductions 2. Mini-Lesson-teacher modelling, student discussion and input, slides, props, etc. 3. Time for student practice with teacher support-learner handouts will be provided and are an important component to this class 4. Re-connect for sharing and review of new skills. 5. Goodbyes Hello! This is a FUN class! Children love learning about different text forms and it is exciting for them to write their own. In my opinion, it's the best way to unleash creativity, confidence and excitement in both reluctant and gifted writers! Children will learn that writing has a purpose! Whether you learner is a reluctant, at grade-level or advanced writer, this class will develop your child's sense of different text forms and show them how they can write these same kinds of pieces. Knowing about different forms of writing unleashes confidence, creativity and student-voice while practicing critical skills like spelling, punctuation, using graphic organizers and story development. There are 5 topics in this Multi-Day Course. A different writing form will be highlighted each day. Monday-LISTS Tuesday-FRIENDLY LETTERS Wednesday-INSTRUCTIONS Thursday-POSTERS Friday-COMICS Learners will have time for independent practice with teacher support. At the end of class, students will be encouraged to share their writing projects. Learners may require some time after class to finish their writing projects. This course is appropriate for First to Third Grade learners. I will accommodate individual needs. I will provide individual written feedback to any learners who send me an upload of their work. Again, this is a FUN class! I would love to meet your little writer soon. Teacher Jo Monday-LISTS Tuesday-FRIENDLY LETTERS Wednesday-INSTRUCTIONS Thursday-POSTERS Friday-COMICS
