ROOTS - National Writing Project: 2026

Back
ROOTS

This project is designed for EFL elementary pupils to enhance their written production skills through the exploration and celebration of their family’s heritage. Crucially, the core focus is on writing as a developmental process — prioritizing drafting, reflection as well as the implementation of peer and teacher feedback, rather than solely on the final product.
