Writing

At P.S 66, our writing program empowers students to become confident and skilled writers through a comprehensive approach that integrates critical thinking, reading, speaking, and listening. As a Thinking Maps school, we utilize a set of eight visual patterns that provide a shared "language for learning," helping students organize and express their ideas with clarity and precision across all grades and content areas.
 
Students analyze mentor texts to enhance their informative/explanatory and narrative writing pieces, learning effective techniques from exemplary models. They engage in the writing process by planning, revising, editing, and rewriting to refine their work.
