K-8 Team Provides Opinion Input Training

The IZone K-8 ELA Team provided Opinion Writing training to teachers in Grades 3-5. Teachers began by analyzing student samples from our actual IZone students using the TNReady writing rubric. The focus then shifted to Opinion writing and how to effectively teach using the Opinion writing rubric, a graphic organizer, and a paragraph frame. Teachers left with a strong understanding of the importance of writing and providing ample opportunities for success.
