These units seem to be the very same ones that we use with Teachers College. We also use Lucy's books to help us plan. Thanks. In a message dated 1/13/2008 9:14:39 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Leslie, I'm not familiar with the 3-5, and our principal has been very flexible with us as to how we implement them (not the order, but the timing). For example, in K last year, I taught the at-risk class, so we didn't even start with Launching the Writing Workshop until November. They had to be taught too many basics (you know, like lining up!!). I think this is how the K-2 set of books goes: Launching the Writing Workshop (Aug/Sept, and each unit below--1 per month) Small Moments (personal narratives captured across 3-5 pages) Writing for Readers (editing) Craft of Revision And because I've never gotten further than that w/ my at-risk kids, I can't remember the order, but here are the other units: Authors as Mentors Poetry Nonfiction (all-about and how-to books) They're available at Heinemann. Lucy also suggests some modification for K and for 2nd. In K Small Moments can be done a month or two later. Before that you can make list and label books. In 2nd, she suggests doing other types of writing--persuasive, research, etc. Sorry I couldn't help you w/ the 3-5!
