WRITING WORKSHOP
The Writing Workshop is comprised of seven units. During the year the children will be writing fiction and non-fiction books. The structure of writing workshop is similar to that of reading workshop. It begins with a brief mini-lesson from the teacher, followed by a time for children to try out new strategies independently and eventually with a partner. Finally, at the end of writing workshop, the children come together to share their work and ideas. Throughout the year, the paper choices will continuously change to meet the needs of each child.
