With the WriteShop Teacher's Manual, you'll confidently teach descriptive, informative, narrative, and persuasive writing.
Lesson plans cover BOTH WriteShop I and WriteShop II, including discussion ideas, pre-writing activities, thorough explanations, and plenty of student samples. Teachers and homeschool parents alike will find many other helpful teacher resources in this idea-packed book.
The TM helps ensure success of the program. Without it, the student workbooks lose much of their effectiveness. Only one-quarter of the TM contains lesson plans. The remainder of the handy, tab-divided binder is devoted to helping you learn to effectively edit and evaluate your students' writing. One look at the TM Table of Contents will convince you that this meaty resource is no ordinary teacher's guide!
Parent Testimonials
"WriteShop gives you so much help that it is surprisingly easy to critique the student's writing. Each lesson has specific instructions for the teacher as to what problems to look for and how to help the student correct them. My dd's writing has become much more clear, interesting, and persuasive." --Amy, TX
