Better Late than Never

In my district, we use the Standards (we follow the America's Choice whole reform model) to guide our instruction. There is a school-based genre schedule that lets us know by what date the specific genre (which are all apart| of our writing standards) should be completed by. Right now for example, we have just begun teaching the elements of Standard E2d- Narrative Procedure. My Mini Lessons this weeek have focused on breaking down each element of the Standard to terms that the students understand. The students then work on pre-writing (for the first few days) and continue with the steps of the Writing | |
Process as I continue to with the Mini Lesson. The students are allowed to peer Conference (with permission) and I Conference with individuals based on what they have done so far (or even on another writing task).
A suggestion for those of you who don't have something concrete to follow, I suggest that you work on Character Development when writing a narrative story, and other focuses that will help your students (all of our students) become better Writers! Reading and modeling through good Children's literature is a great way to begin! Good Luck, and sorry for the late reply Erica-
