Talking and drawing can provide a natural pathway to writing for our youngest writers. In this session, we will discuss ways to design lessons that meet students where they are and lead them in the world of writing. NOTE: Teachers MUST have taken the Making Books: Launch and Beyond class before signing up for this class. Teachers would have taken this class during Countywide SIP Day (March) or West Aurora University (April). If you took the one hour Making Books class at Power of You (January), you will still need to take Making Books: Launch and Beyond, as it goes much more in-depth about implementation. If you would still like to sign up for this class and did not attend either Countywide Sip Day (March) or West Aurora U (April), please also sign up for Making Books: Launch and Beyond that is offered on Monday.
Device Requirement Devices are not needed/used in this sesion
Goal Statement Participants will walk away with a broader definition of "writing" and understand how to make books in kindergarten in the beginning of the year.
Level Prerequisite Teachers MUST have attended the Making Books course either during Countywide day, Power of You, or as West U course.
