Lesson for Launching Reading Workshop and other Goodies

I'm finally getting some time to write about some of the things we created last semester.

Here's how one teacher and I decided to launch Reading Workshop. 
Here's what we created for Word Study. 
And this is the lesson we created to launch Writing Workshop. 
An Annotated Plot Diagram Strategy
Extending Beers' Probable Passage to Multiple Genres
A Backwards Design Descriptive Writing Idea from my dear friend Jeannie Istre
A "Closing" Routine
5R Revision System
6 Square Editing for Transfer
Clocking Strategy for Editing 
Rethinking the Writing Process Wheel: Collaborative Drafts 
Revise by Reading 
Explicit Thinking Instruction 
And a video about the multiple genres in the new ELAR standards.

What a fun day!
