Resources for Writing Workshop
This week I gathered a few resources related to writing workshop for you. I have included a link to In Common: Effective Writing for All Students, which is an incredible collection of grade level exemplar papers you can use with your students. I also collected blog posts for the most common questions related to writing workshop. Let me know if you are looking for a mentor text for a particular writing lesson! I have also included links to posters for the three types of writing, which would be a great addition to any primary classroom. (Thank you Courtney!) Finally, the Newbery and Caldecott Award books were announced yesterday, so I thought I would share them with you!
Happy Reading!
