Lucy Calkins Units of Study in Opinion, Information, and Narrative Writing: A Workshop Curriculum for Kindergarten-Grade 5

• High Expectations, Achievable Goals - The writing units of study help teachers provide their students with instruction, opportunities for practice, and concrete doable goals to help them meet and exceed any set of high standards.
• Proven Tools and Methods - It is an understatement to say these units have been piloted many times. The teaching in these books has been planned, taught, revised, and retaught, through a cycle of improvement involving literally thousands of classrooms in schools dotting the globe.
• A Clear Instructional Arc - Each writing unit represents about five to six weeks of teaching, structured into three or four “bends in the road.” Rather than tackling the entire journey all at once, it’s easier to embark on this series of shorter, focused bends, pausing between each to regroup and prepare for the next.

Patterns of Power & Patterns of Power Plus

• Instead of chanting grammar rules or completing countless convention worksheets, Jeff Anderson and literacy coach Whitney La Rocca invite young writers to explore conventions as special effects devices that activate meaning. Their students study authentic texts and come to recognize these "patterns of power"—the essential grammar conventions that readers and writers require to make meaning.
• Patterns of Power invites you to take just five minutes from your reading workshop and five minutes from your writing workshop to focus on conventions. Those ten minutes will have a miraculous effect on your students' understanding of how language works for readers and writers. Pattern of Power Plus: Extension Lessons for Writers in grades 1st-5th grade to teach grammar authentically with flexibility through rich literature and quality conversations—without worksheets!
