November 2009 Workshop: Writing Instruction in a Homeschool Setting
WRITING INSTRUCTION IN A HOMESCHOOL SETTING
A workshop about teaching writing to homeschooling children will be held on Saturday, November 28th, from 9:00AM to 12:00PM in Charlottetown, PEI.
Writing seems to be one of the most difficult topics to address in teaching our children. Many of us look to programs to give us some direction and structure. At this workshop, we hope to give you a look at some of the writing programs available that we have some experience with, and offer some tips for nurturing young writers.
Some of the programs we will be looking at include:
* IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing), which is used by several families and seems very complicated, will be discussed at length
* Wordsmith series
* Imitation in Writing (for younger writers)
* Jensen’s Format Writing
* Learn to Write the Novel Way, a program for organizing your ideas towards the writing of a novel. This will be discussed by Rachel H., a homeschooling teen who has gone through the program.
There is no set fee for this workshop, but a freewill offering will be taken at the door to pay for the facility rental. Please bring a small snack (peanut-free) to share at the snack table.
If you have any questions or have experience with other programs that you would like to discuss or have discussed (e.g. Writing Strands, “Braveheart”, etc), please let us know. Visit www.PEIHomeSchool.com and send us an e-mail with any questions, suggestions or requests for further information.
