GROWING EDUCATORS’ SPRING WORKSHOP
OPINION & ARGUMENT WRITING
We are delighted to have the opportunity to offer a four-hour
workshop on opinion & argument writing for elementary and middle school teachers
with Jessica Martin, Renee Houser and the staff at Growing Educators. New
national standards have reminded literacy educators of the critical importance
of opinion and argument writing. This workshop is designed to help you and your
colleagues respond to the call by experiencing the writing the
process, analyzing student work in order to
differentiate instruction, and practicing
innovative teaching methods.
