The Structured Writer’s Workshop™
A Skills-First Approach to Writing Instruction
I take everything I learned from my editors and bring those same craft moves into the classroom. Students don’t just write more, they write with confidence, purpose, and voice.
Inside the Structured Writer’s Workshop™, students master skills that work across every mode of writing, from short responses to full essays, through clear, repeatable skills.
What teachers notice when writing is structured
Transform Your Writing Block
When you structure your writing lessons, everything changes.
✅ Students write with confidence
✅ Lessons flow from skill to essay
✅ Your class is full of writers who actually want to write
How the Structured Writing Block Works
- Daily Warm-ups build sentence-level skills and confidence
- Weekly Workshop Skills give students one clear focus at a time
- Deconstruction shows them how real essay writing actually works
- C.E.R. Practice prepares them for essays, tests, and real-world writing
Motivation is built in, and explicit instruction is at the heart of this program!
