WriteShop I teaches students the basics of descriptive, informative, and narrative writing.
This level is ideal for most 6th-10th graders. It also works successfully with older high schoolers who need to learn these skills. In most cases, it is recommended that students complete WriteShop I before beginning WriteShop II.
Not only do students learn to narrow their topics and choose vivid, descriptive wording, they learn to add interest to their writing by varying their sentence structure. Each lesson's Skill Builder introduces new tools and provides practice. Once a new sentence variation is introduced, students will apply it in future writing lessons. This "Learn-Practice-Do" approach helps ensure mastery. The teacher's manual provides parents and teachers with the tools they need to teach both WriteShop I and WriteShop II.
