WRITESHOP 1 STUDENT 5TH ED 5/20

Flexible and creative, WriteShop is an ideal homeschool writing program for teens!

This new 5th edition features the following updates:

• Faith-neutral content
• Updated, streamlined introduction
• Updated content in some lessons
• Updated student instructions
• Updated student & teacher checklists

WriteShop lessons give students a chance to practice descriptive, informative, and narrative writing through focusing on brainstorming, drafting, editing, and revision skills. Assignments teach descriptive and informative paragraphs as well as first-and third-person narratives, important techniques of style, and self-editing. Students learn to choose vivid, descriptive words and vary their sentences in order to build strong paragraphs. With each lesson, they learn and practice new skills, apply them to their current writing project, and edit and revise the composition several times. By the end of the lesson they'll have a polished paper to be proud of!

Students write one composition over a two-week period, revising it twice. Exercises are designed to be approached consecutively, incrementally building upon previously learned material. Students edit their papers met hodologically, using a Writing Skills Checklist tailored to the individual lesson.

5th Edition. Recommended for the average student in grades 6-10, or a bright 5th grader who's working with a parent; average 5th grade students may also spread the course out over two years. At the pace of one lesson in two weeks, students will finish WriteShop I in one year.

Please note that the teacher's edition (sold-separately) is required to use this program.
