Writing Workshop

Students will have lots of choice in their writing topics during this time. We will also do lots of writing across the curriculum, especially in the area of science. The focus of writing instruction will be around three text types; narrative, opinion, and informative pieces. Each of these text structures will be taught using a separate planning strategy.
We are working on writing our opinions:

We will use the following process in our writing: planning (prewriting), drafting, revising, editing (independently & with an adult), and publishing. Students will use a variety of digital tools to produce & publish their writing, including collaboration with peers.
