WriteShop I

WriteShop I teaches students to write descriptive, informative, and narrative compositions. Students will use their observations and experiences to write strong, well-developed paragraphs that include complex sentences of varying lengths. Working independently, students are given clear objectives and tools that will help improve brainstorming, writing, and self-editing skills.
