El proceso de escritura para principiantes: escritura creativa continua

The more we write, the better we write and possibly the more we enjoy writing. In this class we will first learn about narrative vs expository writing and important writing skills using a powerpoint presentation. Then the students will be given a prompt so that they can practice their writing. I will guide them through the process of writing good paragraphs using a plan. We will also focus on revising and editing as important parts of the writing process. This shorter class is geared towards the younger writer who is also a beginner in the writing process. I believe that we should take the child's abilities right where they are and make steps of improvement in a caring and accepting way. More than anything I want to foster the child's confidence and joy in writing. Student will brainstorm together as we develop topic sentences and supporting sentences on the screen. Students should be able to write in sentences.
