New Writing Course: Structured Narrative Writing for Grades 3-5

Pepper released 4 new Writing Courses on August 3, 2015:

• Introduction to Structured Narrative Writing (Grades K-2)
• Introduction to Narrative Writing (Grades 3-5)
• Informed Opinion Letters for Teachers (Grades K-2)
• Argument Writing for High School

These courses were authored by content experts from Accelerated Literacy Learning and are an addition to our current Pepper course, Argument Writing for Middle School.

Introduction to Narrative Writing for Grades 3-5 will allow teachers to move through the stages of the writing process while crafting their own personal narrative. Teachers will also have the opportunity to study text from different authors. One way to study a piece of writing is to notice author’s craft, or the techniques an author uses to make writing effective. To do this, participants will learn to use picture books to glean ideas for narratives as well as how to revise and edit their own writing.

In this course, teachers will learn to take students through the writing process, help them make good choices about topics, write for an audience, and reflect on their writing. The course requires approximately 6 hours of work. You can get more information and a full course outline by clicking here.
