Description

The WriteShop Teacher’s Guide covers both WriteShop I & II, offering comprehensive support for educators. It includes detailed lesson plans, student writing samples, keys, appendixes, checklists, and more. The guide features lesson plan tracks with writings corresponding to subheadings in the lesson plan.

Each lesson includes materials needed, lesson focus, pre-writing activities with a checklist, practice paragraphs, brainstorming, sloppy copy notes, first revision notes, final draft notes, and grading notes. Additionally, the guide provides instructions on editing and evaluating common errors, mechanical problems, supplemental activities, and evaluation checklists.

While the Student Book is written directly to the student, the Teacher’s Guide is essential for teaching the course, as it contains teacher-specific instructions, keys, and evaluation notes. For Copying and Dictation exercises, parents can assign them directly or use the Copying and Dictation for WriteShop I Booklet (sold separately).

This 5th Edition is recommended for the average student in Grades 6-10 or a bright 5th Grader working with a parent. Average 5th-grade students can also spread the course over two years, completing WriteShop I in one year and WriteShop II in another.
