As with Reading Workshop, in Writing Workshop this year we will incorporate both large and small group models using conferencing as students work independently to help guide individuals and small groups with their work. We will be using Teacher's College Units of Study in Writing as our guide for large group mini-lesson instruction. Students will utilize the skills taught in these mini-lessons to improve their writing and hone particular skills. They will be writing a personal narrative, informational articles, argument essays and memoirs. This is a great time before middle school to learn the finer points of writing and begin to grow in their abilities and detail.
