Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

It is no surprise that writing is a subject, that for many students, is simply dreaded. Year after year, so many students come to me moaning every time I even mention the subject of writing. I have learned that because of this, my students have to see themselves as authors. They have to be given the opportunity to be creative and just simply write for enjoyment. Many students do better when they know their writing will have an end project.

My students love transferring their writing into the creation of a children's book that they are able to read aloud to the class.

This project will bring resources that will be available to my students when it is time for them to create their final projects in Writer's Workshop.
