Description
Ignite a passion for writing and launch an unforgettable Writer's Workshop in your classroom! This engaging approach that will captivate your students' imagination and bring their descriptive writing to life. Discover how to teach essential skills while also tackling the crucial issue of motivation head-on.
A structured writing workshop can– and should– be run by the students themselves. In the same way that a Little League baseball team of 8-year-olds can run their own warm-ups and stretches while the coach sets up the bases, teachers can hand over control and allow them to warm up, stretch their creative minds, and set writing goals… all with a trained student leader.
It’s powerful.
As a published children's book author who has worked with editors at HarperCollins and Disney-Hyperion, I realized the need to revamp my approach to teaching writing. That's why I redesigned my Writer's Workshop to mirror the way authors work in real life.
This program breaks down all the tried-and-true routines and strategies that authors use to write effectively. And now I am sharing all the tricks of the trade from the publishing industry with you.
Your students are about to fall in love with writing. ❤️

"I have noticed an excitement toward writing that I have never seen before."
-Patti B.
The workshop is led by two students leaders who walk the class through a writing warm-up then set a goal for that session. My students are now writing volumes, hitting personal records, and celebrating each other.
In this e-book, I will walk you through exactly how to set up a structured student-led Writer's Workshop that will transform your students' writing experience.
