Writing Season!

While Spring may still be a while coming, Writing season is upon us!

Of course, our students always develop and practice their writing skills. However, this is the time of year when those skills all culminate into complete writing products.

Students first address the question or prompt. They then refer to the text for support. They use high level thinking to form opinions and justify them. They make connections between the text and their personal lives. Finally, they round out their writing with reflective and concluding thoughts.

It is a great time to talk to your student about some of these skills. I think you'll be impressed by their level of understanding.
