Nathan Hale High School Writing Lab

 HOME

 

 

 

Opening February 4, 2008!!

12-3 pm, Nathan Hale Library

Hosted by Dan Shapiro

 

The purpose of the writing lab is to provide:

 

  • Personalized support for writing of all kinds and for students at all levels
  • One on one instruction and support or support in small groups
  • General instruction in writing skills or support specific to an assignment

 

 

How does it work? 

(Subject to revision as we get up and running!)

 

  1. Students may refer themselves during lunchtime.  Students will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis during lunch.  (Note:  We may extend to after school time instead of lunch time, depending on the needs of students).
  2. If a student is coming to the writing lab during class time, she/he must have a signed teacher referral.
  3. If you are referring a student, please clearly fill out the referral form. 
  4. A student MUST show you the teacher her/his referral form AFTER the writing lab consultation to show evidence of the work done.
  5. Appointments will generally last for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Students can bring hard or electronic copies of their work.

 

At this point, we’re going to experiment to see if there is a deluge of referrals.  Dan will work on monitoring the flow of students, and we will continue to experiment with different ways to get the maximum number of kids served most effectively.
