Launching+Writer's+Workshop

Unit 1: Launching Writer's Workshop & Crafting True Stories Writing is a skill and a talent that will take students on a journey of deep appreciation and self-reflection, while they build their abilities to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and knowledge. My hope and dream is that students will feel empowered in their new found abilities to evoke emotions and ideas through their writing. I have fallen in love with writing and my dream is that students will also fall in love!

**ON DEMAND WRITING PROMPT** Students in all grade levels are given time to write a personal narrative. In 3rd through 5th grade, they are given 2 blocks of 50 minutes to show what they know about writing. The school has developed grade level rubrics that are tied to the CCSS that we adopted. We have chosen a few anchor papers to guide teachers in grading assessments and to also give a clearer picture of the target for writers and their parents.
