Literacy and Language Guide: A Workshop Approach to
Reading, Writing, and Word Study
The Journeys Common Core Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop Approach is designed to get students thinking, talking, reading, and writing about text in a way
that supports learning and fosters a love of reading. The Literacy and Language Guide combines the rigor of the Journeys Common Core program with active
literacy learning through effective resources that you need for your Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop.
The ELA Instructional Framework is a common core aligned thematic unit which maximizes teacher autonomy. ELA teachers in grades K-5 can use the framework to create more specific, daily lesson plans for the students they teach. Exemplars from the Journeys Core Program were used to create a common
thread within the unit of instruction and are listed as anchor texts. Texts of varying complexity are included as related texts to align with the standards and themes within each unit. Throughout the unit, students will experience routine writing, analytical writing, narrative writing, and the research extension task.

Focus: Informing and Explaining (Culminating Writing Task) While reading Hound Dog True, we looked at the changes in Mattie from the first day of Fourth grade to the first day of Fifth grade. We looked at how the character changed over the course of the text. How has Mattie changed at the end of Hound Dog True? What is a theme that is developed? How does the author convey that theme through the changes in Mattie and Quincy and their relationship? Provide several details and examples to support your explanation. Students should introduce a theme clearly, provide reasons for why the character changes led to that theme, and offer support from the text.
