Weekly homework will be assigned.  Prior to each week's class, I will include research materials for learners in the classroom about the upcoming topic, such as journal articles, that they can access during class writer's workshop and use with their writing. Homework will include:

Journal prompt - There will be an assigned writing prompt each week for learners to answer in their journal. 
Research Materials - Materials relating to the upcoming week's topic, such as journal articles, will be posted in the classroom each week. Learners will be asked to look over the materials, highlight important facts, and take notes. They will use their notes during Writer's Workshop in class.
