I used to teach writing like everyone else.⁠
.⁠
I would⁠
✔️collect data, checklist, documentation, assessment⁠
✔️pick a writing form⁠
✔️break it down into steps⁠
✔️focus on the process of how to write within a form⁠
✔️repeat this for a few weeks⁠
✔️have students write within that form⁠
✔️evaluate their work to see if they could write in the form⁠
.⁠
Honestly, it worked. I was able to get my assessment data and cover my curriculum.⁠
.⁠
But…it was boring and my students were less than engaged. Especially those students that had no interest in writing in their form.⁠

If you’ve been around for a while then you know I’m a big fan of using inquiry-based instruction in the classroom. ⁠

If you need a simple and easy way to teach your students how to solve word problems in the upper elementary grades (Gr. 3-5) look no further. ⁠

Every day I am given 100 minutes of uninterrupted language arts time in my schedule. In that time I must plan out how to get everything done. ⁠
.⁠
My goal is to plan all of my lessons so that they flow together and fit, not so that they are a disjointed mess of “LET’S CRAM IT ALL IN” I do this by focusing on Themes, Mentor Texts, and Student Choice.⁠
