ABSTRACT
When envisioning how digital clubs will play out in any classroom, the first consideration is to determine how the digital work will augment the writing in the current unit. Though digital clubs build on the writing students are currently doing in a unit, they do require kids to create something new. Digital complement clubs add so much excitement to any writing unit. Students enjoy composing new pieces or seeing a traditional piece come to life in a whole new way. In digital clubs, we create groupings based on students’ feelings about both the digital content and tool. In exploring any new kind of writing, we believe students must read before they write. Because digital clubs are designed to build on students’ writing work within a unit, we find it helpful to link these lessons whenever possible.
