Spooky Story Writing Workshop

Ready to have some fun writing? Here's a course to help children love writing and enjoy it. I often found children didn't get to enjoy the writing projects assigned when I was a teacher. So, I developed for October a fun, exciting "Spooky Story" writing project that I taught for over fifteen years in my classroom. Now, your child can experience the joy of writing and using their imagination.

Taught through a Writing Workshop format, I go over all the steps of writing, prewriting, drafting, revision and proofreading and creating a final draft. Each lesson includes mini-lessons on the craft of writing including organizing ideas through graph organizers, writing dialogue, "Show, Don't Tell", plot creation, character creation and conflict, and problem/solution story structure.

When your child finishes the course, they will have a fantastic story of their own creation to share with family and friends. As they go through the writing process, they are asked to work with a family member or guardian with the writing process in which they learn to gain feedback on their writing and make changes. Anyone in the family or through Zoom can full fill this role making it a bonding activity with your child.

For classroom teachers, the course can be assigned as a writing project to meet many teaching standards. A special class price is available up to 30 students. A coupon is generated to be shared with your students so they can participate in the course. Recommended for grades 2 through 5. Can be used for middle school as well or for adults that just want to review their writing skills and possibly create a story for their own children.

Whether this course is being used during the fall for a Halloween project or any time during the year to engage children in writing, or help adults write for children, it has always been a student and child favorite. I now present to you, the "Spooky Story" Writing Project to help bring the joys of writing to your child.
