Welcome to Literacy Workshop

Literacy Workshop is a semester long enrichment course that touches on reading, writing, speaking, viewing and listening, and critical thinking – all of the fundamental components of English Language Arts. The purpose of the course is to provide additional practice in text analysis and to better enable students to critically and creatively respond to texts. Students will be exposed to a variety of texts including short stories, radio theater scripts, and short plays.

In order to be successful this semester students must meet the following requirements:

· Participate in small group and whole class discussions on various texts

· Maintain a Reading Response Journal to be stored in the classroom

· Partake in small group and whole class rehearsals and performances revolving around various short plays and scripts

· Complete an in depth Character Study

· Write a short story or short play based on the character study

. We look forward to a fun and productive semester!

Truly,

Mrs. Bilotti & Mrs. Martineau
