Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.

Pre-Writing Skill Building Activities for LINC Classrooms
Saturday May 3, 2025 2:00pm - 2:45pm PDT
TBA
In this workshop, I will explore three pre-writing strategies rooted in the writing studies discourse: freewriting, inkshedding, and loop-writing. These strategies are designed to help writers generate ideas, overcome writer’s block, and build confidence in articulating their thoughts on paper. Beyond introducing these techniques, I will demonstrate how they can be adapted into engaging, skill-building activities for the LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) classrooms (specifically CLB 4). Using examples drawn from key LINC themes such as Citizenship, Education, and more, I will showcase how these strategies can be seamlessly integrated into lesson plans to enrich learning experiences.
By incorporating these methods into their teaching practice, LINC instructors can provide learners with valuable opportunities to develop their writing fluency, enhance their ability to organize ideas effectively, and foster a more creative and fluid writing process. Participants in this workshop will gain hands-on experience with each strategy and learn practical ways to customize them to meet the diverse needs of LINC students, ultimately creating a more supportive, inclusive, and dynamic classroom environment.
