Expand Upon Your Students Creative Writing With These Workshops
Do you feel like your students could do with some additional assistance on creative writing?
Or are you considering that your students may learn more from a guest or just need a break from face to face teaching?
There are several workshops that can be found that teach and expand upon creative writing for primary students.
Having someone else do the talking, reiterate what you have been teaching, or simply presenting the same thing in a different way can be effective for all students. The money will be well spent.
These workshops offer great resources in addition to your own writing program.
