Work on Writing
"The writing component of the Daily 5™ provides additional support children require to become effective writers. Its purpose is to provide daily writing practice." (The Daily 5™ p. 80) During this rotation students typically work on writing of their choice. Many primary teachers have a separate writing workshop, where students may be required to produce a piece of writing directly related to the lessons taught or genre being explored. Intermediate teachers tend to combine the workshop and Work on Writing. It all depends on master schedules and time available each day. Whatever you do, we invite you to join us as we support our children as they Work on Writing.
