Writing Experiences

  • Mode-based Writing Enrichment
    During each session, students will read complex texts and develop a written response that is appropriate to the text genre and content. Tutors will facilitate sessions that guide students through the steps of the writing process and support them to practice implementing their existing and developing writing skills.

    Students will become more equipped to successfully complete independent writing assignments as they build their writing skills toolkit.

    Skill-based Writing Enrichment
    During each session, students will practice specific and targeted writing skills while completing a number of tasks and assignments. Tutors will facilitate sessions that teach students about selected aspects of writing and offer students opportunities to apply and practice their skills.

    Students will become more equipped to successfully complete independent writing assignments as they build their writing skills toolkit.

    Skills offered include: Selecting Powerful Evidence; Moving from Analysis to Summary; Writing Strong Thesis Statements; Great First Impressions: The Art of the Introduction; Final Thoughts: Developing Effective Conclusions; and more…

  • Throughout these sessions, students will receive:

    • An organization and time management planner for successfully completing their writing.

    • Mode-specific lessons that will enable students to become more strategic and independent writers.

    • Feedback sheet with ways to develop their work as they continue their work on their own in between group sessions.

    • Written tasks that will challenge them to think analytically about the book as well as reflect on the content and their lives.

    • Peer support and encouragement about reading and writing.

  • Students may create groups of peers, or they can join a group of students from other schools. We can organize these arrangements for students and families.

    A minimum of three students is required for groups to run. Groups are capped at five students, unless mutually agreed upon by all students creating the group.

  • We will work with your student’s schedule, as well as the schedules of the other students in the group, to find the best time for your book club to meet.

  • Price begins at the base-level tutoring rates, and will be determined by length of commitment and complexity of book study.
