Writing Workshop

---

Class Handouts: Here is the Information Sheet about Writer's Workshop from class. A list of writing ideas called "But What Do I Write?" The Requirements for the Final Piece(s) for first semester. Here's that "Reasons Sheet" that was handed in with the pieces. Finally, here is the Anthology Assignment for your end-of-the-year project, where you collect some of your best and favorite things you've written and read this year into an attractive package.

Web Resources
There are so many resources for writers--professional, amateur, beginner, expert--on the Web...

The Young Writers' Club was a nice web page, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in quite a while now.

The Young People's Press (or YPP) is a pretty cool "online news and media service for young people".

Teen Ink is "written by young people for young people," and you can submit writing, photos, and art for possible publication.

Looking for a Rhyming Dictionary? There's one here, and here, and here. Take your pick.

Looking for a dictionary/thesaurus/telephone book/CIA Factbook/quotation/atlas? It's at iTools, with a lot of other stuff, too.

Want some help with that crossword puzzle? Or your Scrabble game? How about a Pig Latin dictionary? Or a dictionary that will scramble your letters up to form new words? Every kind of dictionary you can imagine is at Langenberg.

Try Black on White, a site for beginner writers (but not for kids; it's for the serious among you).

Look at all of the resources for professional writers at Writers Write, an Internet writers' magazine. Watch out for all the advertisements, though!

Look at Yahoo's Creative Writing category for a good list of sites for writers of all kinds--from poetry to comic books.

I like some of the tips at Aaron Shepard's Young Authors Page.

Or just try some Brain Food, puzzles for the brain to chew on.
