Description
Category Description for Layers of Learning: Writer's Workshop
Get multiple ages writing simultaneously with these 9 creative, in-depth writing units from Layers of Learning. Most students will complete one unit per month. Each unit introduces concepts and assignments, and then provides a plethora of mini-lessons and exercises to practice the concepts.
The first unit, the Writer’s Workshop Jump Start, introduces the writing process and students compile their notebooks as they practice. The following units range from sentence and paragraph level exercises to varied types of creative writing (fanciful and poetry) and nonfiction (true stories, essays/reports, letters, and persuasive) writing. Grammar, punctuation, the writing process, literary devices, and other writing skills are taught within the context of the assignments.
You’ll find various exercises to gain, practice, and firm up skills—as well as lengthy idea banks to get creative juices flowing. Start daily with one of the five to ten-minute mini-lessons listed in the margins to hone specific skills that will tie into the larger unit tasks. Writing exercises, transitions, rubrics, worksheets, and activities provide multi-level practice. Additional PDF resources (code inside text), and a dedicated website with an extensive list of video and online resources are available.
Reproducible for individual use. An optional companion Writer’s Journal is available. Journal includes lined pages (5/8”), unlined pages, and combined lined/unlined pages for students to personalize their writing journey.
