Using Plot Structure to Teach Reading and Writing Grades 2-8 June 12, 2017

June 12, 2017 HOUSTON, TX.

Shlenker School Houston, TX

This one day workshop is an in depth look at teaching plot structure in your classroom in a way to support multiple literacy skillsets in both reading and writing. We will show you how students can gain strong understanding of plot structure in both picture books and chapter books as well as how to help readers with skills like summarizing, cause & effect, and main idea to mention a few.  Understanding plot structure is the most basic of work when reading fiction and yet it is still one of the most common issues that challenge many readers.  Additionally, we will look at using plot to lift the quality of narrative writing. Registration fee includes handout for the day and some extra surprises!

All workshops begin at 8:45 and end at 3:45 PM. Lunch on you own. ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE PAID PRIOR TO THE WORKSHOP.  This is a registration fee vs a consultant day.  Be sure to communicate that with your financial departement.   

You may want to arrive between 8:25 and 8:30 to sign in, pick up materials and find seating.  If you are expecting a large group from your school it is a good idea to come early if sitting together is important to you.  Dress comfortably and you may want to add layers...buildings can be really cold.
