In addition to writing exercises and prompts, I also wanted to put together a list of online learning resources that students can utilize during this time. Below is a list of links for outside learning opportunities to help with a student’s overall academic work. Some of these resources are free and some may require a subscription. As I find more resources, I will add them here.
I’ll be posting a writing activity later today, but here is something to get you started. Note: I am not affiliated with any of these links. Just trying to provide resources for those in need.
