About this Learning Opportunity
Grade Six teachers:
- Are you thinking about the upcoming Language Arts PAT: Part A?
- Are you wondering where and how to begin when teaching narrative writing?
- Are you looking for ways to teach students to write with greater clarity and artistry?
During this two-part series, educator and author Karen Filewych (How Do I Get Them To Write? and Freewriting With Purpose) will empower you to teach narrative writing with greater skill and confidence. Learn how to teach your developing writers to:

- develop both setting and characters
- write effective dialogue
As always, Karen will guide teachers through the writing process within the classroom including mini-lessons, pre-writing, writing, feedback, and assessment practices. Curricular links and PAT considerations will be embedded throughout.
