Writer's Workshop

Week 6
Our next Writing Mini-Unit:  The Know/Do/Plan    
This is a graphic organizer that helps us to recognize exactly what the question asks us                                                                             to know ahead of time
what we are supposed to do with the information                    
how we are to plan for the main idea and the supporting details that will help us to thoroughly answer the question.    
Next week we will work on a reading response to Freak the Mighty and a response to a nonfiction piece using the helpful Know/Do/Plan Graphic Organizer



Week 7 - 9
Looking Ahead to The Writerly Life: we will begin to collect items that will help us to describe a "Slice of Life", or a moment in time.  This will lead into the fleshing out of our Personal Narrative.  More information to follow.
