WritingFix: Sharing Quality Writing Lessons techniques strategically designed to "fix" reluctant writers and writing teachers Our Northern Nevada resource website freely shares with the world! Here in Northern Nevada, our local writing project (the NNWP ) will continue to sponsor this WritingFix website, which we launched back in 2001.
The resources on this site are incredible. Lessons are tied to the 6 Traits of Writing, and if you get on their email list, you'll get a lesson a month sent to you for free.
For all those interested in these....although they are designed to be used with their smart notebook software....active inspire, which is now on all of our school laptops will launch these files.
Trica it a bit hidden on mine - Open your applications - find the promethean folder - then click on the activesowftware inspire folder - in that folder the program is called "inspire" click to open. Then accept the license and click for personal use. Then you should be all set - or a least that is where it was on mine ;)
I've been a member of Promethean Planet for a couple of years and I love it. There is always someone available to answer questions, and teachers from all over the world share ideas and resources. Highly recommend
I have begun to replace some of my trackstars with these. I'll be testing it out soon. I'll let folks know how it goes. It certainly solves common problem.
Melissa Webster got this site at a workshop last year. It offers online activities and lessons for a number of grades. 1st grade explored it yesterday as a resource to support differentiated learning in our classrooms.
