Description
WriteShop I offers incremental lessons, challenging assignments, and creative activities for teens.
Students improve descriptive, informative, and narrative writing skills by becoming proficient in four vital techniques: brainstorming, drafting, editing, and revising. Not only do students learn to narrow their topics and choose vivid, descriptive wording, they learn to add interest to their writing by varying their sentence structure.
Each lesson’s Skill Builder introduces new writing tools, which students have the opportunity to apply during future lessons. This “Learn-Practice-Do” approach helps ensure mastery.

Though ideal for most 6th-10th graders, WriteShop I works successfully with older high schoolers who need to learn these skills. The program’s incremental nature also makes it an excellent option for teens with learning challenges.
In most cases, it is recommended that students complete this level before beginning WriteShop II.
A good thesaurus is essential for WriteShop students. The Synonym Finder is our favorite thesaurus, and we highly recommend it for use with the WriteShop program.
