Unit Materials:
Mentor texts, chart paper, markers, colored pencils, crayons, all previously
made anchor charts, student writing booklets, publishing paper, writing
process chart, student writing journals, writing folders.
Teaching Notes:
During the first weeks of school, teacher should establish a routine for writing
workshop. Each day’s lesson should begin with a short mini-lesson, followed by
a time students are able to independently practice the skill. Finally, writing
workshop should end with reflection and sharing time. Teacher should use
students’ independent work time as an opportunity to assess and conference with
individual students.
Teachers may want to also read “Guillermo Jorge Manuel Jose” by Mem Fox and
discuss people’s memories. Writing stories down is a good way to share and save
our special memories.
NOTE: To stay on track with the CRM, it is suggested that many of these
mini-lessons be combined and taught in one day. If campuses use the Writing
Workshop format, students will be familiar with this format. Read these minilessons and pick the ones that are appropriate for your class for the next two
weeks.
