The teacher’s manual offers two schedules – a two year track or a three year track. There are a total of 30 lessons, covering topics such as describing an object, writing concisely, and writing a timed essay. It is also a great cost-savings because this teacher’s guide will last the entirety of WriteShop I and II. I love this because it let’s you always see the next step. The teacher’s manual for WriteShop I and II is combined into one book.
If you are not comfortable teaching writing, video lessons are available. The program consists of a teacher’s manual and a student workbook for each level. WriteShop I and II are geared towards middle school and high school students. He had such a good time figuring out the plot and adding stock images that I don’t think he even knew he was learning!

Just grab the teacher’s manual and the WriteShop lesson file and you are ready to teach writing anywhere. Once it is organized by lesson, it takes almost no planning each week.

WriteShop Junior has a few different components: Teacher’s Guide, Activity Pack (this includes the student worksheet pack and the fold-n-go grammar pack), and Time Savers.

WriteShop review – sample Junior planning pageĮvery WriteShop Junior level teaches a variety of writing styles. The teacher’s guide lays out the lesson schedule, occasionally provides a script, and gives detailed information on how to best teach each lesson. Homeschool parents often wonder if the teacher’s guide is truly necessary, and in the case of WriteShop, it is! There are two sample two-week lesson plans and even a schedule for teaching students in who are working through different books. I choose to spend three weeks on each lesson, but the teacher’s guide offers several scheduling options.
