Nate - These are ambitious! Again, don't worry if you have to push back. Your attention to detail and sense of fun in these plans will not be wasted. Can't wait to see you in action.

worksheets [|Thesis Statement VIP.docx] [|writer's workshop worksheet.docx] [|paper prompts and thesis examples.docx] Nate - You are tackling a tough topic, but one that, if absorbed by the kids, will pay huge dividends when they launch into writing their papers. Urge the kids to consider their thesis as a road map to the rest of their paper. Also, urge them to choose/write a thesis that they find interesting because it will "drive" their work for several weeks. These projects can DRAG for kids if they aren't innately interested int their topics - encourage them to get creative! Also - let's chat about the grammar...have an idea for you to actually start teaching the components now that you are sharing the importance in a fun way. Also, great time to introduce the personal dictionary. Their vocab. words can relate to their thesis and be used in their papers. These plans look great! LT

Worksheets week three [|MEAL.docx]

[|VIP for Lesson plan day 9.doc] [|Writer's workshop worksheet MEAL Plan.docx] Nate - Very thorough - Like the Meal Plan hand out. Are the students writing body paragraphs at this point? Also, continue to model the thinking and writing that goes into the workshopping at the end of the week. Students tend to be minimalists when reading their peers' writing and giving feedback. May I ask you to share how you have used your funny grammar book for the rest of the group during our dept. meeting on Wed?
