Through this instructional DVD, Lucy Calkins and her colleagues from the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project open the doors of their classrooms and invite you to eavesdrop on their elementary writing workshops. Carefully crafted and linked to each of the initial units of study in Grades 3-5, two hours of live-from- the-classroom video clips will get your writing workshop off to a strong start and allow you to:
- observe how Lucy Calkins initiates minilessons and teaches writing strategies
- listen in on conferences and small group instruction
- study the structures and rituals of a well-managed writing workshop
Each video clip is supported by an optional voice over coaching commentary from Lucy that explains the teaching moves and strategies. This DVD is an invaluable tool for educators who want to become experts in the teaching of writing and staff developers who want to advance writing instruction.
"These units are designed to let you observe thoughtful, reflective teaching in ways that enable you to extrapolate guidelines and methods, so that on another day you'll feel ready to invent your own teaching."
