FOCUS FOR EACH DAY

  • DAY 1: What are we supposed to teach? Relating the rubric to teaching the different writing types
  • DAY 2: How are we doing? Examining student essays and planning lesson design and instructional strategies
  • DAY 3: Where do we go from here? Scoring sample student essays to identify strengths and weaknesses and then re-strategizing

The workshops are designed especially for 4th grade school teachers
to help students meet CA Language Arts Standards & Writing Assessment benchmarks.
