Description

"This is the guide for teachers to walk them through the Writing Units of Study Grades K-2. First, you'll read about workshop essentials: the time devoted to writing, the direct instruction techniques, the mentor texts, the responsive feedback from a teacher, the collaboration and feedback from peers, and the writing process that will become familiar to your students. Next, you'll learn to put first things first, establishing the rituals and routines that support your students in being engaged and independent writers. Next, you'll read about setting up your writing workshop, how to use your classroom space, charts, writing supplies, and mentor texts to support your writers. After that, you'll read about the origin and purpose of the minilesson, which begins every writing workshop, and how to tailor your minilessons to best support your students. Then, you'll read about conferring, the heart of your teaching in a writing workshop, and the specific methods for productively working with students in this way that we've honed over the decades. You'll also learn how best to use small groups to support your students in creating a collaborative learning community. Next, you'll learn how to run a writing workshop where every day, you are affirming and supporting English learners and committed to ensuring access for all learners"--
