free writing class for teachersCreating the Write Habit |
 |
The only way to grow as a writer, and a great way to grow as a writing teacher, is to sit down and write. The hard part is the sitting down. In this workshop we'll talk
about ways to create a writing habit that is easy to sustain — and fun! We'll also do a number of writing exercises that you can carry over into the summer months and the school year, and that you can use with your students too. This workshop is
appropriate for teachers of all grade levels, and the writing exercises are designed to inspire short fictions, prose poems or mini essays.
Powerful Writers, a program of the nonprofit Powerful Schools, brings in-class professional development in writing instruction to southeast Seattle public elementary schools.
