Writers Workshop II

ACTION:

1. Print a copy of the Writing/Literary/Publishing Terms (attachment via email) and place them in your WW binder under Tab #3 (Style, Terms & Techniques).

2. Under Tab #4 (Forms of Writing), start making a list titled "Why We Write" ~ bullet format is fine. You may expound on each reason, if you like. Think about all the reasons you write throughout the day, month, year and write them down. Why do others write? Why is writing important to us personally, our families, our community and our world? Take a couple days and think of all the reasons you can on your own first and then ask your parents, siblings, friends (not in B&W Club), and others.

Bless your day!

Writers Workshop I

ACTION:

1. Please prepare a 3-ring binder that you will bring to the Writing Workshop each month.

2. Your binder should start out with 8 tabs and we may add more as we go along. Place about 5 sheets of lined notebook paper after tabs 1-6.

Tab labels should read:
1. Grammar & Mechanics
2. Vocabulary & Word Choice
3. Style, Terms & Techniques
4. Forms of Writing
5. Tools of Learning
6. Checklists
7. Drafts
8. Final Exhibits

3. Place a paper in front of the first tab. Write down topic ideas that come to you and other AHAs about writing on this paper, so you don't forget them.

4. Subscribe to the Grammar Newsletter (link found in the email that was sent to you today). This is a weekly newsletter, I believe. The "TIP of the Week" is always at the very top of the newsletter. Please make sure you understand each tip and write it on a paper that is filed under your Grammar & Mechanics tab. You may read the rest of the newsletter if you'd like, but it is not required.
