Writing Workshop

Last week, the BES teachers took part in a writing workshop training. This year, all teachers will be working on honing in on our writing workshop routine and skills with our students. The hopes is that we will develop fluent writers who are able to write various types of writing. We will not have a writing SOL this year, so we will have the time to explore the possibilities of writing without feeling the time crunch and pressure that the SOL brings. We will teach 6-week units where students will work on 1 or 2 large pieces of a specific genre of writing. The writing notebook will be a big part of our workshop and potentially will come back and forth from school and home. There is a possibility of some writing homework from time to time.

Stay tuned for more information about how writer's workshop will be run in the classroom!
