Description All instructions and materials for this workshop are accessed through this website: http://www.learner.org/workshops/middlewriting/prog5.html This free, online workshop centers on multigenre writing, an eclectic approach to writing instruction that offers students a wide range of options for expressing ideas and communicating knowledge. As students explore different avenues for translating what they think or know into writing, they begin to understand that there is no single "right way" to communicate. Instead, writing demands intelligent, informed choices based on purpose, audience, content, and personal preference. Giving students the freedom to make these choices fosters their creativity and increases their engagement. While the videos take place in middle school classrooms, the skills and strategies taught are readily applicable to ABLE classrooms.
