The Description

The thing I love about teaching writing is that it provides an opportunity for my students to express themselves. What makes it difficult is when my students aren't confident in their writing skills and they shy away from sharing their perspectives and ideas. This year I want to have a classroom of confident writers and I will achieve this by implementing Empowering Writers' methodology and lesson plans.

Empowering Writers provides all of the resources necessary to help me build confident writers. With their comprehensive guides that cover narrative, expository, and argumentative writing, my students will be able to engage with any topic and feel confident in doing so. As I look to empower and prepare my students for the 21st Century, it is critically important that they are able to effectively communicate their ideas and opinions through writing. If this all sounds amazing, this is where you come in! Your generous investment will bring the Empowering Writers curriculum one step closer to my wonderful students. Here is a breakdown in fundraising:
