Transitioning from guided elementary writing to independent skills necessary for later grades, WriteShop Junior is designed to guide students in Grades 3-6 through each stage of the writing process while keeping writing fun and enjoyable. WriteShop D focuses on choosing strong words, using proper grammar and pronunciation, brainstorming, writing paragraphs, research-based assignments, and self-editing. Writing is a skill that needs to be taught, and WriteShop makes it easy for homeschool parents to provide hands-on instruction.
One lesson every three weeks, working three days per week, allows for focused instruction time in appropriate quantities, reducing frustration and ensuring mastery. Lesson plans for one lesson every two weeks are also included for families who prefer to finish the curriculum in 20 weeks. Plans for teaching children at multiple levels and using different books are provided, simplifying life for homeschoolers teaching multiple age ranges.
Each lesson is taught through a series of eight activity sets, allowing students to become familiar and comfortable with the program format. Students will keep a reading log, complete pre-writing activities, practice journal writing, brainstorm, begin writing a first draft, edit and revise the first draft, work on a final draft, and finally receive an evaluation with optional extension activities.
Lessons have a specific skill focus and include lesson objectives, materials needed, advance prep, and detailed instructions for each stage in the process. Lesson plans provide all you need, including step-by-step directions, fully scripted presentations where necessary, questions, instructions, examples of completed work, and reduced-size reproductions of the sold-separately WriteShop Junior D: Activity Pack. This level would most likely be appropriate for students in Grades 3-5. The resource spans 266 pages and is indexed, softcover, and spiral-bound.
