Writing Strategies for Students K-8

 

Project.

Title: Project Real-Writing Strategies for Students K-8

Client: N/A

Year: 2005

 

Challenge.

Teaching K-8 students how to write well can be a challenging task. Teachers need to learn new ways to help students improve their writing skills.

 

Solution.

A Flash-based module was developed to equip teachers with strategies that they can use to help K-8 students improve their writing skills. The module first describes the writing process and provides examples of different writing genres. It then explores the 6+1 traits of writing as a means of teaching writing to K-8 students, and describes the steps involved in conducting a writer’s workshop. Self-check quizzes are included to test one’s understanding of the information presented in the module.
