Using these materials, my students will be able to engage in their learning and complete their writing assignments in a manner that is more comfortable to them and that gives them a sense of independence. Teaching aspiring journalists and writers to be more independent thinkers and writers is important in preparing them for their future endeavors. Following our whole group writer's workshop lessons, students may return to their desks to complete their writing, or they may use the cushions and clipboards to create a mobile desk. Our focus in writing is creating strong opinion pieces. I want my students to know that it is important to state and express their opinions, just like many journalists do in the newspapers and media.
