A Collaborative Literacy Project ~ About the Project ~  Calling all K -
4 writing teachers! Here's a chance to share your favorite selection of children's literature used to introduce a writing mini-lesson. All you have to do to participate is send in the name of a book you absolutely love that is an example of a particular writer's craft. Then include a brief explanation of your mini-lesson and a sample of student writing that flowed from this lesson. I will post all submissions on the project website and we'll have a
great selection of books to use with future lessons! Here's an example: Patches Lost and Found by Steven Kroll.
I use the book to show story sequence or to show how to "write" with
pictures first, then words. Visit my
Touchstone Books
page to see more examples.
