Writer's Workshop

In writing this year, we will focus on three main types of writing; narrative, opinion, and expository/informational. Students will have many opportunities for creative writing as well as development of more structured pieces.  They will participate in a variety of mini-lessons, quick-writes, and conferences that will help them develop as a writer and find the fun in writing.  

While writer's workshop is of course not the only time/subject we will be writing in during 5th grade it is a dedicated time 3 days a week when the students know they will be able work on their chosen pieces or genre study.
