SUBJECT: GROWING
EDUCATORS’ WINTER INSTITUTE ON EXPOSITORY WRITING
We
are delighted to have the opportunity to offer a three half- day institute on
expository 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 expository
writing. This mini-institute is designed to help you and your colleagues
respond to the call with action, with state-of-the-art ideas.
Participants
will learn how to plan units of study that support the new national expository
writing standards. Participants will be provided with clear, practical help for
planning whole and small group mini lessons, as well, as units of study that
meet the needs of all students. Primary grade units include creating procedural
and informational texts using vocabulary development strategies, while upper
and intermediate grade teachers will focus on building a foundational
understanding of essay structure.
