Description

The Teacher's Guide contains the schedules; materials and supplies lists; teaching tips for hands-on projects and the writing skills used throughout the book; the body of each lesson and instructions for all activities. Targeting the 5th-6th grader (or reluctant 7th), Level F is recommended for children fluent in basic paragraph skills. Five paragraph writing is taught (or reviewed) about 2/3 of the way through. This level can also be a good fit for a 12-13 year old who needs more time to work on foundational writing skills like narrowing the topic, using graphic organizers, improving sentence length, developing characters, setting, plot, using dialogue or writing five paragraph compositions and research reports. Children comfortable with these skills are ready for the Writeshop® writing program. See below for more information on content at each level.

Topics covered include planning/organizing writing projects; synonyms; sensory detail; sentence starters; developing voice and emotion; using references; self-editing; key grammar skills; and publishing. Writing topics include adventure, tall tales, mystery, historical fiction, summary, poetry/limericks, persuasive letters, personal narrative, book report/literature response, expository writing/non-fiction report.

Why did you choose this?

We used the previous level last year. The units provide a variety of activities. The program provides structure while leaving room for creativity in writing.

We did level E and I really liked the way the lessons were put together and we had fun doing it!

I choose this because it looked easy to use and fun.

I have used Write Shop products for the past 2 years. We love it!
