WriteShop 2 Student Workbook

Writeshop II's New Look:

• Features a soft cover and looseleaf pages.
• The text has not changed. You will find the same 4th-edition content.
• It is compatible with the 4th-edition Teacher’s Manual.
• Use your own binder. Pages are already 3-hole punched for convenience.

Where WriteShop I established a basic framework of descriptive, informative, and narrative writing, WriteShop II helps students expand their writing abilities. This second volume builds on that earlier foundation as compositions shift focus to descriptive narration, narrative voice, point of view, and use of tense. Later lessons introduce persuasive writing and the basic 5-paragraph essay model. Students will write multiple kinds of essays, where they will learn to express an opinion and develop and support it with facts, details, and examples.

Students write one composition over a two-week period, revising it twice. Incremental in approach, exercises are designed to be approached consecutively, building upon previously learned material. Working through assignments by brainstorming, drafting, and revising, students learn to edit their papers methodically, using a Writing Skills Checklist purposefully tailored to the individual lesson.

Writeshop II Student Workbook includes:

• 14 lessons (most students complete the book in one year, two weeks per lesson)
• Step-by-step instructions for each lesson, written to the student
• Creative and varied writing assignments and supplemental activities
• Skill Builders that teach and reinforce new concepts
• Examples, lesson directions, and exercises—some of which are completed in-book, and others that must be written on separate paper
• Lesson-specific student and teacher checklists (one per lesson)
• Composition evaluation rubrics (one per lesson)
• 17 exhaustive word banks

Please note: This workbook is not a stand-alone book. The Teacher’s Manual, a critical resource, provides parents and teachers with many instructional activities needed for introducing or explaining key concepts for both WriteShop I and WriteShop II.  These materials are NOT always present in the student book. The Teacher's Manual is available for purchase as part of the Starter Bundle.

Though ideal for most 8th-11th graders, WriteShop II works successfully with seniors who need to learn basic essay-writing skills.  In most cases, it is recommended that students complete WriteShop I before beginning WriteShop II.
