37. Writing Workshop Lucy Calkins
Good afternoon! Today, I will be telling you a little bit about our writing program that we use. K-2 use the primary program and grades 3-6 use the upper elementary program. We started using this writing program during the school year. During our first year, we had many professional development days spent learning the program and discussing any problems or concerns that any of us were running into while using this program. 37

38. Students write to a writing prompt twice a year.
This writing program covers the Grade Level Content Expectation’s for writing.
Students write to a writing prompt twice a year.
The focus of the writing workshop is not on grammar, but rather using the writing process and putting their ideas on paper.
These various GLCE’s are presented in the daily minilessons.
There is a team of scorers that score the students’ writings and how well they use the writing process. They are graded twice a year, once in the first marking period and once in the last marking period. These prompts are graded and given back to the teacher to show if students have improved throughout the year. The grades also give teachers ideas on what student’s need to improve on as a whole. 38

Mini-lesson
Writing Time
Mid-Workshop Teaching Point

The mini lesson is approximately minutes. This lesson gives the students skills and strategies to use in their writing. This is also when the teacher gives instructions on what their writing assignment is for the day.
Writing time is spent writing mostly on topics of their choice. Writing partnerships are developed and productive talk is encouraged. During this time, conferences, either one-on-one or in small groups, are used to help aid students with their writing ideas and to guide them in the right direction. The writing time starts out smaller at the beginning of the year and the time spent writing will increase throughout the year as their writing stamina increases.
Mid-workshop teaching point: This teaching point is used in order to give students a break and to also give them direction and focus. This point can be a reiteration of the minilesson, a highlight of a student’s work, or a time for writing partners to discuss a strategy or skill they are using in their own writing.
Share Time: This time is used to talk with others about the writing process and to share writings with the class. This share time should occur everyday for approximately 5 minutes. 41
