My Project

As a result of COVID-19, many students need the freedom of the Writing Workshop Method (especially bolstered by mentor texts) will help students to heal, express, and move forward as empowered, skillful writers.

COVID-19 truly kept students from the world, and equipping students with high-quality mentor texts will keep the composition bar high, and keep students empowered to overcome the skill gap.

Student can refer back to informational, narrative, and poetry from the pros to set the bar high for themselves, and within the Writing Workshop model, students can work on collaborative social skills, also a deficit from COVID-19.
