Writing Links offers a story writing circle setup in which three classes
or groups have the opportunity to work on different stages in the development
of three stories. This year we are offering two options to classes
wishing to participate:
- Option one: work in a circle of 3 classes from different schools
- Option two: work in a circle of three groups all in the same class
Together the members of each circle write three complete Human Interest
Genre stories. Each group within a circle writes the beginning of
a story
(development of the characters, the setting and the problem). The second
group develops the main body of the story.
The third group brings the story to a close, gives the story a title,
and creates art work to illustrate it. When a story has received
it's illustrations, it gets published in the Library of Student Writing
of this Site (in
the student area).
The heart of the project process is described in project STEPS.
The teaching resources created to support it are acccessible thorugh your
teacher login.
Your class also receives a Web Space (See
Sample Class Page)
to create, simply and automatically, a page where
they can talk about themselves and their project, where you can post pictures
of the class, the community, or the student's activities and productions.
Use it as a way to help them reflect on what they are doing. It is also
intended to create a link with parents, friends and family, and other
participating classes who can visit this page and write messages.
This site contains all the information you need to manage the project
with your class. Printing some of the material will make it easier to
review and read over. Writing Links is a Learn-by-doing
project supported by the Québec English Schools Network.
