Registration is now closed for this event.
Join our email list to be notified of future events.
Many of our students like talking about themselves, so why not take advantage of that while developing their writing skills? This webinar will focus on a narrative nonfiction writing unit where students write stories of their own lives. Your facilitator, Jen López (2020 Teacher of the Year from the Minnesota Council of Teachers of Languages & Cultures) will share ideas and examples, and discuss mentor text study and mini-lessons focused on writer’s craft, idea generation, and writing mechanics.
Note: All languages are welcome in this workshop! Jen is Spanish/English bilingual and translanguaging will be used throughout.
