Writing Clubs

Fostering Community, Collaboration, and Choice in the Writing Classroom

By: Lisa Eickholdt,Patricia Vitale-Reilly

Ask teachers about their biggest challenges in elementary and middle school, and many will say the teaching of writing. It is often difficult for students find the joy, discovery, and satisfaction writing can yield. What Lisa Eickholdt and Patricia Vitale-Reilly have found is that adherence to genre studies can get in the way of student collaboration. Believing writing instruction should be more authentic, they want students to have more choices, develop better collaboration, and sustain a sense of community, all through the implementation of writing clubs.In their book Writing Clubs: Fostering Choice, Collaboration, and Community in the Writing Classroom , you'll discover ways to: Collaborate throughout the process of writing Choose what to write and how to write it Examine mentor texts and study craft techniques across genres Develop speaking and listening skills Celebrate classmates’ accomplishments through publication Collaboration is widely recognized as a vital life skill. Eickholdt and Vitale-Reilly present a plethora of ideas on how gratifying it can be right now, as well as in the future. There’s an old proverb that says, ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.’ In Writing Clubs , we discover that there is no limit to how far young writers can go when teachers show them what it means to collaborate.

Writing Clubs

Fostering Community, Collaboration, and Choice in the Writing Classroom

By: Lisa Eickholdt,Patricia Vitale-Reilly

This book describes the spectacular results when students work in small groups or 'clubs,' as they choose what they want to compose and which writers they want to emulate. The authors' intention is to give children more agency in their writing, to develop better collaboration among writers, and to sustain a strong sense of community in classrooms. The focus is on writing for audiences beyond the classroom, and the book describes how to include families and community members when celebrating children's finished pieces of writing"--
