GED 595 - Launching and Developing the Writing Workshop in the Elementary Grades

As Katie Wood Ray states, “No matter what, let them write.” Even our youngest writers are ready to write and create books. In this class, we will discuss the use of mentor text to help students envision possibilities in their writing, spend time examining the workshop and all its components and practice how to use student work to drive instruction. Participants will design a variety of lessons and a unit of study that is ready for the classroom.

Credits: 3 cr.
