Synopsis

What is The Complete Writing Program? A Workshop in a Book! The Complete Writing Program is a workshop in a book for grades 3-12. It will show you, step-by-step, how to build stronger, more confident writers one day at a time. Additionally, it will help you build an army of great writers within your class who will help you with your building great writers. Have you ever taught your class how to write an essay/story; spent hours reading and editing every one; gave the students constructive feedback; then have your students revise, edit and publish it? If you have, you know that it can be incredibly time consuming. Serious, meaningful conferencing between student and teacher is a luxury most teachers can’t enjoy very often. Why not work smarter, not harder? This program will show you how to set up your class so your students are modeling and reinforcing the skills you teach on a regular basis, not you! How Does the Complete Writing Program Work? All great writing, no matter how young or old the writer, has five key elements! Begin by teaching your students the 5 key elements of great writing. Show your students how to look for the 5 key elements of great writing. Teach your students how to assess each other’s writing. They will use The Complete Writing Program’s “Writing Assessment Checklist” to identify the 5 key elements of writing in their neighbor’s writing. Students will score each other’s writing. In this way, they are reviewing the 5 key elements of writing as well as seeing it modeled within each other’s writing. Each chapter of The Complete Writing Program shows you how to build your students’ skills in the five areas of great writing. Home school parents will find this program especially helpful as they continue to build their child’s skills in the five areas of great writing year after year. Includes 252 pages, dozens of worksheets, and more lesson plans than you can use in a year. Grades 3-12
