The Night Writing Project is now available!
What is Night Writing?
It is a fun practice process that brings students into writing with ease, creativity and a great deal of enthusiasm. It is not a substitute for writing instruction, nor is it simply more “homework”; it is a way to “hook” students into writing meaningfully. Students receive a new writing prompt and supporting graphic organizers, revision ideas, and editing checklists for each weekly packet on Monday. Teachers provide a mini-lesson each day that guides that night’s step in the writing process—
- Monday-prewriting with a graphic organizer
- Tuesday- drafting
- Wednesday- revision with a weekly focus
- Thursday- editing
- Friday -publishing and sharing
We have had great success with the project this year. Teachers from four Northern California districts have contributed their lessons to make it a truly teacher designed program. Your involvement with professional development services from knoxeducation.com and strategic schooling gives you access*. All we ask is that you consider contributing lesson ideas to make Night Writing constantly new and fresh for all teachers.
Join us, the Night Writers!
