Launching Writers' Workshop
Writers' Workshop is launched in September to establish the routines and environment for writers and readers in a workshop model. The sample lessons below will help you begin to build a logical sequence of focus lessons that prepare students for a year of Readers' and Writers' Workshop. These lessons correspond to those in the unit trajectory calendars posted online. You may notice that launch lessons are very similar throughout elementary and middle grades as they are meant to repeat, refine, and solidify the habits and routines that make for a successful year in the workshop environment. They are listed below in no particular order. Modify the language, mentor texts, and anchor charts as necessary to match middle level expectations, but retain the structure and high level of teacher modeling in the lessons.
