The children will be participating in writer's workshop this year. The ongoing structures within Writer's Workshop provide a continuity of daily practice and coaching which allows writers to practice and improve their skills. These structures include minilessons, conferences, and partnerships. Children will receive instruction in narrative, expository, informational, poetic and procedural writing. The children try again and again to write with focus, detail, grace, structure, clarity, insight, and increasing amount of conventions. They do this by planning, drafting, rereading, revising, and editing.
