Writing Skills Workshop
A toolbox of writing techniques for teens at Canyon Crest Academy!

If you are a student or parent of a student who would like extra help in the area of writing, then this workshop is for you!

 Saturday writing workshops are a two-part series that focus on the basic writing skills used for responding to text within an essay format and writing a research paper.  One or both parts may be attended. 

Part I: Writing Workshop:

Components include: reading high-interest non-fiction piece, learning & practicing annotating text (note taking), brainstorming ideas, creating a thesis, outlining, drafting essay, proofreading w/ self-scoring rubric, and publishing final draft.  By the end of the day, students will have written an essay that will be taken by the instructing teacher and graded for students to pick up the next week in order to get feedback. Students will walk away with help documents and strategies written down for each step to use as a future reference for school work.

 Part II: Research Workshop
