Writing Workshops

This workshop aims to ignite the imagination and refine the writing skills of young learners by focusing on key writing standards. Students will explore different text types and purposes, engage in collaborative writing exercises, and embrace the joy of storytelling.
 

Workshop Objectives:
 

  1. Informative/Explanatory Writing (W.3.2, W.4.2):
     

    • Students will learn to write informative texts by examining topics and clearly conveying ideas. They will practice introducing topics, grouping related information, and using illustrations or multimedia to enhance understanding. Emphasis will be placed on developing topics with facts and using linking words to connect ideas, culminating in a strong concluding statement.
       

  2. Narrative Writing (W.3.3, W.4.3):
     

    • Students will dive into narrative writing by developing stories about real or imagined events. They will learn to establish a situation, introduce narrators and characters, and organize events naturally. Through dialogue and descriptive details, students will create vivid experiences, using temporal words to guide readers through the sequence of events, and ensuring a satisfying conclusion.
       

  3. Production and Distribution of Writing (W.3.4, W.4.4, W.4.5):
     

    • With guidance, students will produce clear and coherent writing suited to various tasks and purposes. They will strengthen their writing through planning, revising, and editing, with support from peers and instructors. The use of technology will be encouraged to produce and publish their writings, fostering interaction and collaboration with others.
       

Activities Include:
 

  • Writing Prompts and Exercises: Engage in daily writing prompts to spark creativity and practice writing techniques.

  • Peer Reviews and Feedback Sessions: Collaborate with classmates to share work and provide constructive feedback in a supportive environment.

  • Illustration and Multimedia Integration: Enhance writing pieces with drawings or digital media to bring stories to life.
