Evelia- There are hundreds of websites and the information is a bit
overwhelming. Not taking away from the great sites that many people on the
loop suggest. I would suggest looking at the NOYCE Foundation materials.
One site, with intro lessons, videos and examples in most age ranges. You
need to poke around a bit to get everything. This is the 4th grade intro
unit http://www.noycefdn.org/**documents/ecrw/curriculum/llw/**
LLW-4-00_Curriculum.pdfhttp://www.noycefdn.org/documents/ecrw/curriculum/llw/LLW-4-00_Curriculum.pdf
There are great books, but I don't want you to be overwhelmed starting
next week. As the year goes on, I would suggest picking up Lucy Calkins'
The Art of Teaching Writing, but don't do it this week! It reads like a
novel, and doesn't have the answers in the index.
In a nutshell, look for videos that model writing. Write in front of
your class, using a chart or overhead. Model your thinking, model how you
need to reread and cross out to correct grammar. Model making mistakes and
correcting your spelling

Subject: [MOSAIC] Teaching Writing
Hello. I am in desperate need of help and I thought about this group. I am
starting school on Monday and I was told this afternoon that I will be
teaching
writing (dual language). I normally teach reading and social studies. I
have
never taught writing before. Writing is tested in my grade (4th). Are you
all
aware of a great online resourse for writing that I can use, at least to
plan
for next week? Also, for those who have experience teaching writing, when
and
how do you address the mechanics of writing? Do you start teaching a lot of
grammar first? Do you teach grammar as a whole group? I have so many
questions!
Thank you.
Evelia
