How often have you read students’ writing that reflects personal lives but doesn’t reveal new understandings about themselves and their world?
Use this resource to take upper elementary students’ writing to a deeper level with a critical approach that focuses on questioning multiple viewpoints, exploring social issues, and taking action to promote social justice. You’ll discover how integrating critical literacy into writer’s workshop engages students in social action as they actively critique the connections between their personal lives and society.
