Independent Writing Time |
After the mini-lesson, students have
independent writing time. During this time students are working on
their own stories in their Writer's Notebook. Students should be
applying the strategies and skills taught during mini lessons. I
will be monitoring students during this time and conferring with
students who are at that stage in the writing process.
The Writing Process
Students will complete their prewriting and first drafts in their
spiral notebook using a black pen.
After three first drafts, students will choose a piece to take
through the entire writing process.
They will revise their writing with a blue pen.
They will edit their writing with a red pen
They will sign up for a conference with me.
After conferring with the student they can now publish their
writing.
They can choose to write on stationary or type the final draft.

Author's Chair |
After independent writing time students will share what they have been
working on. During this time a few students will share a piece of
writing in the author's chair while all others listen or all students
share their writing with a partner.
