Writing+Fix

Writing Fix Writing Fix is a project based in nevada which focuses on all areas of teaching writing.

The authors of the website invite teachers around the world to participate in trying out and adapting sample lessons with classes from preps to year 10. Teachers can send in these lessons to be added to the web site. Also using the resources and letting the organisers know allows them to apply for further funding to extend the project.

Some key aspects are:

Membership of a Ning so that you receive the lesson of the month, plus access to previous writing lessons of the month. These include very inspirational ideas and approaches.

Write like your favourite author: a series of lessons for kids to deconstruct the writing of their favourite author and learn how to include strategies in their own writing.

Great resource suggestions eg picture books, chapter books, authors. and The seven elements of a crafted writing lesson.
