Episode 73 Beginning of Year Writing: Setting the Stage
Manage episode 432833377 series 3540087
In this episode, I invite you to consider how you are setting the stage for writing in your classroom in the first few days of school.
Do you want your writers to be excited, confident and ready to engage in writing? How you begin writing time-the words you say and the activities you ask your students to do-needs to support those goals.
This means your "go-to" writing prompt may not be the right choice for the first day of school.
Listen in to hear how to start off your writing time on the right foot!
Melissa is an enthusiastic educator and continuous learner with over 18 years experience in education. Her passion and expertise is transforming writing programs so that teachers are confident in writing instruction and student writers thrive! She strongly believes teachers are the key to effective instruction and their writers are their best resources.
Melissa knows that too often, explicit writing instruction is pushed aside in elementary education, and she feels it is her calling to help schools make it front and center, providing teachers with the knowledge and support necessary to implement effective and engaging writing instruction.
