Picturing
Writing:
Integrated Curriculum Research Based Story Workshop
This
two- or three-day workshop presents teachers with a dynamic model
for integrating Picturing Writing into the social studies or science
curriculum. Using simple crayon resist based art processes and working
with themes of either Ocean or Animals in Their Habitat, teachers
will create their own research-based stories. The key elements of
story (setting, character development, plot development and use
of descriptive language) as well as research and research writing
will become the focus for developing research-based stories.
