With a different topic for each series of 7-8 lessons, Elephant Community Press’s teacher-writers will lead students through themed writing adventures that incorporate quality readings and creative activities to get their imaginations fired up and ready to write. We will introduce age-appropriate writing skills and text types as we share our passion for writing, and have fun!
