The Writing Process Digital Writing Workshop Activity
Students often tend to rush through the writing process, throwing together a rough draft and crying out, "I'm done!" This digital writing process activity is an interactive way to help them focus on truly digging into the writing process and its importance. Students will spend time working through writing workshop mini lessons and activities in a way that is manageable and meaningful. Instead of writing a lot and being DONE, students will really dig into one sentence, learning how less is more.
