I would do mini lessons on what the children would need as they begin writing. Mini lesson(s) on getting ideas about what to write....perhaps from experience of course but also getting an idea from a book connection and so on. I would give mini lesson(s) on rereading what I have so far and then moving forward. Mini lessons on revision and/or strategies for actually doing the changes on my paper etc.
Just think about what writers actuallydo (what you actually do). And also build mini lessons on what you see the children struggling with OR successful with.... You'll know. Trust yourself!
