Awakening the Writer's Mind
Using Theater & Movement- LIWP Saturday Series
Awakening the Writer's Mind with Movement & Theater Fun
On Saturday, June 4th, join the Long Island Writing Project's last workshop in our Writing Matters Saturday Series for the 2015-2016 school year. Facilitated by Jackie McBrien, educators will explore some fun theater games and find new inspiration as writers! Ideas will be shared about how movement and theater games/exercises may inspire our students (and ourselves) to write creatively. Jackie will share how she sets up and prepares her own students to take part in some theater games/exercises in order to ensure both the successful execution of the theater game/exercise and a fun time which may inspire creative writing! Please come out to take part in the discussion!

Long Island Writing Project
The Long Island Writing Project (LIWP) is an official site of the National Writing Project, part of a federally-funded network of 200 sites nationwide and eight sites in New York State. Through our work with teachers in Nassau and Western Suffolk counties, we seek to improve writing, reading and learning in area schools. Since our inception in 1993, over 1000 teachers have participated in our programs.
The LIWP comprises teachers from kindergarten through university. Our seminar leaders are outstanding educators from different grade levels and disciplines in local schools, and we have a strong, ongoing partnership with Hofstra University's Department of Literacy Studies. LIWP teacher-consultants keep up with research and changes in education and their work is grounded in practical classroom approaches. Through our model of teachers teaching teachers, participants in the LIWP strengthen the classroom strategies they already find effective in teaching writing and develop new ones.
One of the most important foundational beliefs of our Project is that teachers improve their knowledge of teaching writing by writing themselves. Another is that the best way to improve our own teaching is through sharing what works with other effective teachers. We welcome your inquiries, and look forward to writing, learning and teaching with you.
