Writing and Word Work

Our Writing Workshop consists of several different components to help make this time very special. Though it is best to have a continuous time frame for a Writing and Reading Workshop, that is not possible with our schedule. To see a sample of our daily schedule and where each of these components fits in, please click here. After lunch, just before our Daily Five Literacy Work Stations, we have a 15-20 minute Word Work time that consists of Spelling, Grammar and/or Handwriting. Here is a sample of what Writing Workshop time looks like in my classroom:

Mini-Lesson (10-15 Minutes)

Independent Practice, Conferencing (30-35 Minutes)

Sharing (5-10 Minutes)
