Writing

Writing at School: Students will participate in writing workshop at school. This involves grammar usage, punctuation, writing opportunities- freewrite and topic, editing with teacher, peer edit, sharing, and publishing.

Writing at Home: Sometimes you will be able to choose your topic, sometimes it will be assigned to you. If you are stuck just start writing about whatever comes to your mind and you will stumble upon something meaningful for you. This list might help you come up with a topic that inspires you. Students are expected to produce 2-4 pages of writing each weekend. The length depends on the style of writing and the size of writing.

Pets, Family, vacations, loss, friendship, favorite places to visit, lists, winter activities, rain, books, situations, relatives, dilemnas, letters
