In this workshop participants will learn strategies for helping students put their thoughts into writing. Specifically, methods for developing thematic units and vocabulary, simple and complex sentences, and strategies for single- and multi-paragraph compositions will all be discussed. Handouts and templates will be provided.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Define the writing demands placed on students
- Identify and explain the importance of oral rehearsal prior to writing
- Create a curriculum to begin cross curricular units
- Implement scaffolded techniques in the classroom to enhance students’ writing, both at the sentence and paragraph levels
