2011 Workshop Ideas
 * Since there should be more emphasis on non-fiction or informational text and non-fiction writing - get eight facts - use bullets - about a subject (this would be a good time to talk to your Social Studies teachers to get information about what they are currently teaching). Have the students compile four of those facts into a paragraph. Let them share their paragraphs. Then have them take the four remaining facts into another paragraph. Share again. This prepares them for writing non-fiction. Possible suggestions could be to use as a bell ringer activity.
