Get excited for the Year 5 – 7 Term 2 Fiction Writing Workshop!
On offer for a small group of homeschooling students in Years 5 – 7 Term 2, 2023, is a fiction writing workshop. This fiction writing unit will explore building suspense in writing, using language to explore feelings and sounds. The model story will be a ‘meeting tale’, where two children meet an unexpected someone.
This fiction workshop will run each Wednesday for 8 WEEKS during Term 2, 2023. The first workshop begins on May 3rd with the last workshop on 21st June. The workshop start at 9:30am and conclude at 11:00am. There is a short 15min break in between sessions for a play in the yard.
Students need to bring a water bottle, hat if required and snacks if they like. All other writing equipment is provided.
Teaching Style
The ‘Talk for Writing’ approach to teaching writing is lots of fun and made a tremendous difference with the students in my classroom. Students engage in fun short-burst writing activities, drama, poetry, the creation of text maps, boxing up the structure of the model text, shared writing, reading, guided writing and independent creations. The approach is multi-sensory with lots of interaction and appropriately paced activities throughout a session.
With this writing workshop, your child will:
- engage with other young writers in reading, drama, activities and writing
- draw story maps and use actions to retell the story
- build on their grammar, comprehension and vocabulary within the context of meeting tales
- identify patterns in a meeting tale
- explore writing tools and utilise these tools to enhance their writing
- directly improve their reading skills
- participate in shared writing and write an independent ‘meeting tale’
- receive their own authors ‘Magpie Journal’ to organise their writing and collect ‘word treasures’
Notes are provided on my website during the term and some home tasks are given along the way to make the most of the learning. Only one workshop is available at this stage with only 10 spots open for homeschooling families. Further workshops possible with interest.
