Language Arts

The Me Project- This workshop will allow your students to answer the following: Who are you? What words would you use to describe your personality? Are you cool and laid back? Or do you consider yourself an aggressive go getter? It’s time to roll up your sleeves and investigate, via your writing, the subject that you should be an expert on, you!

The Eclectic Writer’s Workshop- Get your students ideas on the page! Be it narrative... expository...creative... In this workshop, students will float through various genres, allowing the writing process to set the foundation for their compositions. In the end, they’ll have an established portfolio that they can do with as they please.

The Graphic Novel Workshop- Students will create their own graphic novels, (Good for emerging artists and comic enthusiasts). We’ll focus on what goes inside a graphic novel, how to develop an effective illustration that compliments a story line, how to include important info that makes a story line: like including the current issue, the story’s climax, and the resolution. 

 Text Journals- Students can pick any book they want (fiction) and they’ll create a text journal in response to it. The text journal will be a creative response that will include info about the author, the setting, the text’s vocabulary, comprehensive activities that get at the book’s main idea, and the readers book review.

The Color Of My Words (Lower/Middle Grades) This is a wonderful class text (fiction) that focuses on the importance of communication.
