Our Writer's Workshop consists of...
A Mini-Lesson where we focus on one strategy that we can use in our writing. Some days we might focus on "exploding the moment", other days we might focus on learning how to be critical editors.
Independent Writing Time
During this time we will be writing! We will focus on personal narratives, informational texts, research essays, memoirs, poems, revising written pieces, conferencing with peers, conferencing with a teacher.
Closing
This is where we will share writing that we are proud of. We'll talk about a skill we've utilized or discuss what works best for you and your classmates!
