Increasing Engagement in Writers Through Choice of Genre K-6
Choice, in any area of learning, increases energy and engagement. In writing teachers often grapple with choice of topic, but less frequently consider choice of genre. Yet, choice of genre significantly impacts engagement, especially for reluctant writers. In this session we will make the case for including some writing workshop units of study that allow for choice of genre each year. We will also troubleshoot common challenges of non-genre specific units, including considering possible non-genre units, balancing them with genre specific studies, pulling stacks of texts, and conferring.
