Post 1

I'm interested to hear your impressions of our first reading selection!  Here are some questions to drive our discussion.  You don't need to respond to all of these questions, but think about what we can do now to get a head start on our writing instruction this fall!

  • How are Lucy Calkins' lessons similar or different from what you currently do for writing instruction?
  • What are your thoughts on starting with informational writing in September (as described in this unit) as opposed to narrative as we're used to?
  • What is something new you plan to incorporate into your writing instruction?
  • What do you think might be challenging?
  • What resources might we need?
