WriteShop I & II

Parents love WriteShop! 

This flexible writing program helps new and veteran homeschoolers alike tackle high school-level writing with confidence. From brainstorming to final draft, the Teacher’s Manual clearly defines your role in the writing process. You’ll love the examples, detailed lesson plans, and step-by-step instructions. 

WriteShop I and II set your teens on a course for success. Assignments give them a chance to practice various kinds of writing, such as creative, expository, narrative, and persuasive. With each lesson, they’ll learn new skills, apply them to their current writing project, and edit and revise the composition several times. By the end of the lesson—after brainstorming, writing, editing, and revising—they’ll have a polished paper to be proud of!

• Goal of mastery as lessons regularly review skills
• Creative and varied lessons
• Graphic organizers and step-by-step strategies that help students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or dysgraphia

WriteShop I

WriteShop I teaches students to write descriptive, informative, and narrative compositions. Students will use their observations and experiences to write strong, well-developed paragraphs that include complex sentences of varying lengths. Working independently, students are given clear objectives and tools that will help improve brainstorming, writing, and self-editing skills.

WriteShop II

WriteShop II teaches students to write and edit persuasive, compare/contrast, and descriptive essays. Students work on the components of an essay, including thesis statements, while also learning to work within a time limit. In each lesson, students will apply skills, such as outlining and use of parallel sentence construction, as they brainstorm, outline and edit, and revise their compositions, resulting in well-structured and polished writings.
