• Writing tools

• Time to think, talk, write, and share everyday

• Freedom to make mistakes

Page 3: Writing Ppt Revised

Creating a Writing Community

Creates Dependence • Teacher selects prompt

• Writing lasts as long as a writing period or a journal page

• Students resist making revisions

• Students brainstorm very few ideas on the topic

Fosters Independence • Students select a writing

topic

• Materials are easily accessible

• Students write the sounds they hear

• Students may work on the same piece for days

• Students are excited to share

Reading About Writing

Page 5: Writing Ppt Revised

Table Talk

• What kind of writing environment have you created in your classroom? Are students free to be creative and make mistakes? Are you fostering independence?

• What do you want to start doing in your classroom to create a positive writing environment?

Page 6: Writing Ppt Revised

Why is Drawing Important?

• It is the way beginning writers represent and understand meaning.

• It is a way for children to be heard.

• It develops language.

• Allows children to go deeper into their stories.

• Teaches children about the craft of writing.

• If drawing is an early stage of writing, then we should want our students to draw well just as we want them to write well.

Page 7: Writing Ppt Revised

Why Do Writers Draw First?

• Most children like to draw.

• Most children come to school already drawing.

• For young children, drawing is writing.

• It gives them opportunities to do what writers do.

Page 8: Writing Ppt Revised

Ways to Support Drawing

• Model

• Think aloud about drawing

• Use familiar shapes

• Teach through mini-lessons

• Point out illustrations in books

• Writers must inform their readers. Whatever you are writing, show you are the authority through your words and picture.

Page 9: Writing Ppt Revised

Ways to Support Drawing

• Create a drawing center filled with interesting materials.

• Have children bring in familiar objects to draw.

• Get to know something by doing it a lot – do a lot of the same drawings in different ways (faces)

• Provide time for drawing.

• Assess student’s drawings to determine what children need to make them better.

• Provide opportunities for them to make their work better.

• Celebrate

Page 10: Writing Ppt Revised

Ways to Support Drawing

• Draw about what they know

• Draw characters in a variety of ways (facing different directions)

• Include the tiniest details (a dog tag with the dog’s name on it)

• Reveal feelings (through facial expressions)

• Reveal the setting through one little detail (a spigot for a sink)

• Use the illustrations and the words to tell the story (they may tell different parts of the story)

Writer’s Workshop

• The independent writing and conferencing - 20 to 30 minutes

• Sharing - 5 to 10 minutes

Writing Mini-Lessons

• Is the modeling and demonstration of a target skill

• Used to teach even the simplest skills - how to put away materials, etc.

• Used to target SE’s

• Include WFTB mini-lessons

Page 15: Writing Ppt Revised

Phases of a Mini-Lesson

• Engagement – students try what was taught (partner share or quick write), 1-5 minutes

• Link – link the skill to previous instruction, 1-2 minutes

• For example: “Today and everyday, remember to leave spaces between words.”

• Connection – Connect to previous learning, 1-2 minutes

• Teach – Define, model, and demonstrate the new skill, 3-10 minutes

• Provide models such as pictures or examples

Page 16: Writing Ppt Revised

Types of Mini-Lessons

• Foundational – assists with organization of a piece (choosing a topic, sequencing of thoughts, beginning, middle, and end, etc.)

• Craft – move writing beyond the basics (word choice)

• Operational – defines procedures such as transitioning to the carpet area, when to sharpen a pencil, how to give and receive feedback, etc.

• Print awareness – print conventions

Page 17: Writing Ppt Revised

Independent Writing and Conferencing

• Provide resources for students to use such as alphabet strips, portable word walls, word source rings, read alouds, etc.

• Where will materials be stored and how will students access them?

• The largest portion of writer’s workshop

• Start with 10 minutes and work up to 20 to 30. Build stamina just like in reading.

• Determine where students will write.

• Silent vs. quiet writing

Page 18: Writing Ppt Revised
