Dragon Writer Artist-in-Residence Program

Apr 29th, 2008 by Patricia

his week-long program for grades 4 through 6 covers all the basics of good writing and is designed to address the benchmarks of the Colorado State Elementary Writing Process Continuum.

Miss Pat works intensively with students during the week. During this time, she guides them, step-by-step, through both sides of the creative writing process:

Right Wing Skills:

Parts of Speech

Punctuation

Spelling

Sentence Structure

Paragraphs

Left Wing Skills:

Generating Ideas

Author Purpose

Plotting

Character Development

Setting

By the end of the week, students have a basic understanding of both “wings” of effective writing and have soared to the completion of an individual creative writing project.

Miss Pat employs enjoyable exercises and interactive activities to inspire students to new writing heights.

Thank you so much for coming to visit us. It was a fantastic experience for all! ~Elementary School Principal
