Motivating Struggling Writers-Using Technology Project Write
|
Do you want to learn more about increasing adolescent literacy with the use of technology?
The following key questions will be explored in this workshop:
• How do we motivate struggling writers?
• How do we help struggling writers find real purpose for their work?
• How we help struggling writers to learn “the basics” ?
• How do we get them to write?
This workshop will offer teachers an opportunity to gain insight on strategies to use with struggling writers, as well as a chance to read, discuss, and reflect on their work with struggling students, and gather ideas with other participants. Participants will be provided with specific examples of strategies to engage writers, and resources to explore, including a book with helpful writing reminders. Additionally, this workshop will include a focus on the way in which digital literacies are impacting our teaching of writing, specific ways to utilize technology, and time to practice these specific technologies.
This will be a “hands-on” workshop, with opportunities for participating teachers to try out strategies they can use with their students.
The workshop will be facilitated by
Dawn Reed,
Red Cedar Writing Project Teacher Consultant
and
Elana Waugh, Project Write Teacher.
