November/December (Lucy Calkins book 2- Small Moments: Personal Narrative Writing)
Students learn to take the everyday events of their lives and make them into focused, wellstructured stories-doing their very best to communicate those stories through pictures and through
more and more writing.
January (Lucy Calkins book 3- Writing for Readers: Teaching Skills and Strategies) Students
focus on and refine their command of the conventions of language. Children learn to make their
writing readable. They learn, for example, how to include more of the letters that are in words,
how and where to leaves spaces, how punctuation works and how to write key words "in a snap."

Writers Workshop
(descriptions from Lucy Calkins- http://www.unitsofstudy.com/default.asp)
April- (Lucy Calkins book 5- Authors as Mentors) Students learn to be better writers through
studying the work of the authors they love. By studying three very short books by Angela
Johnson, children learn to understand, and apply to their own writing, techniques they discover in
the work of published authors.
May- (Lucy Calkins book 6 Nonfiction Writing: Procedures and Reports) Students learn how to
write two different kinds of non-fiction texts: How-To and All-About books. Children begin by
studying published examples of each of these kinds of books, examining their structure. Then
they draft, revise, and edit their own writing in the same structure, with the help of graphic
organizers and peer conferring.
June- (Lucy Calkins book 7 Poetry: Powerful Thoughts in Tiny Packages) Students write
collections of poems in this unit, learning to go beyond the rhyming ditties that come to mind first
to find precise images that represent big ideas. They learn to use line breaks to express the
meaning and rhythm they intend, and to use visualization and figures of speech to make their
writing more clear and powerful.
