Reading Workshop
This section of the class will make up about 40% of class time. Students will choose and read books based on their own interests. Each of the Reading Workshop classes will begin with a brief, ten to twenty minute mini-lesson. Students will keep journals that stay in the classroom. These journals will form an important part of each student's assessment for the course. Students will also use and maintain daily progress sheets which will record reading goals and accomplishments for each day. We will use a variety of assignments to help students show their successes, for example The Not So Scary Book Report found here *****.

=Writing Workshop= This section of the course makes up about 60% of class time. Students will practice several writing styles, projects and assignments - all of which will be developed through the stages of the writing process and guided by the 6+1 Writing Traits. Mini-lessons will also be used to launch these writing assignments as in the Reading Workshop classes. Writing portfolios which stay in the classroom, will help students keep work organized and on track with due dates.
