Wonderful presentation! I made a big move this year, kindergarten to 5th grade, and still working through teaching writing in 5th grade. This presentation had some great resources that I look forward to using and a fantastic list of mentor texts.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been told so many different ways to teach writing but I am glad to see the district using McGraw Hill. I think as a lower El teacher McGraw Hill is great for first grade. I enjoy the step
by step lessons to refer to. The mentor text examples and anchor charts were very helpful. the anchor charts are needed during writing workshop.

# data[].attributes.body
I needed this refresher course on Informational Writing.  There are so many resources available to use.  I am inspired to use new mentor texts, The Ramped-Up Read Aloud, and The Writing Strategies Book by Jennifer Serravallo. Great Presentation!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you so much for connecting us to the writing resources we have within our McGraw Hill series. I was also grateful to see all of the resources within the Teams folders too! I loved the examples of the mentor texts, too!

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the information presented, as we move into Informational writing lessons. I love and use the Ramped Up Read Aloud and appreciate the resource listed. I look forward to checking out Writers Read Better and The Writing Revolution. The review of the McGraw Hill website resources was helpful. Thanks for all of the information presented.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for connecting the writing assessments through UCS with the resources we have in McGraw Hill. I was able to assign my students writing activities through Connect Ed. The mentor texts are also wonderful suggestions.

# data[].attributes.body
Fabulous presentation! I have the Ramped Up Read-Aloud and it was a great reminder of all the amazing materials and ideas I can pull from there to use mentor texts for my classroom. I also enjoyed the various anchor charts to aid students in organizing the information they obtain to better recall later on when it comes time to write. I look forward to utilizing these ideas and resources as we move into our informational writing unit.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed the information given and look forward to implementing some of these resources in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I particular love the video on the How to lesson. What a great introduction (engaging activity) and modeling towards How-to writing essays. In addition, navigating through Wonders can be overwhelming so the step-by step instruction was refreshing especially for a new teacher or someone learning the program.

# data[].attributes.body
It was useful to be reminded about the mentor text available through Connect Ed. I enjoyed watching the video on using the demonstration to peak the children's interest in informational writing. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
I loved seeing more resources at McGraw-Hill I already created a writing assignment for my students to do tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.headline
So many resources! So many books!  Changing grades, I will look into so many grant opportunities with my so little time to pick some of these things up to help all of our struggling students.  Thank you.

Great presentation. I enjoyed learning about the Ramped Up Read Aloud and look forward to using it in my classroom. I also liked the review of the ConnectEd Writing Supports.

# data[].attributes.body
The resources provided will be useful in my class. This also made me thankful I signed up for the writing revolution pd.

# data[].attributes.body
Great presentation!
One takeaway I have from today is the anchor chart "can/have/are" that helps students organize details as they plan their writing.
The Wakelet resources also have some great takeaways. Nell Duke's editing checklists and the non-negotiables monitoring form will be helpful. The videos on informational writing for kids to introduce topics will be a great resource.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the information on the Wonders writing was very helpful! Especially the models they have on there for students!
I also love seeing mentor texts and anchor charts/mini lessons that go along with them!

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking forward to exploring "Ramped Up Read Aloud" to help me use read alouds in lessons for informational text writing. I would like to see how that compares with the Interactive Read Alouds books by Linda Hoyt. As a resource room teacher, the kids really respond to Read Alouds and I think they set up an excellent context for writing. Also, I wanted to give a shout out to Liz B. who is at my building and is awesome.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the review of the McGraw Hill writing resources. I also am excited to look into the ramped up read aloud series to hold more classroom read alouds outside of Wonders. It will be nice to focus on specific writing strategies for each writing piece we do. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for the presentation! I loved relearning the different resources available with Wonders!

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the video on how to make lemonade! I am going to use that when I teach the kids about "How-To" projects. I also like the book Henry's Freedom Box to use for explaining biographies which I do with my students. I like that there is a text/book that has a rubric for the students to follow along with and use on their own self-chosen biographies.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I am really looking forward to trying out the McGraw Hill Writing Resources with my students.
2. I would like to dive deeper in using the Ramped Up Read Aloud resource that I have.

# data[].attributes.body
Great presentation! I loved the idea of using the "Ramped Up Read Aloud" book to show students the different types of informational pieces and the characteristics of each. Also, I appreciated the review of all the resources that McGraw Hill has for writing.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate the resources for more mentor texts to use. I also like the examples of different graphic organizers. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Mentor texts are great models for students to demonstrate good writing. Thanks for sharing titles. I plan on revisiting the MAISA units. Great reminders of resources available.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the idea of using "Henry's Freedom Box" to teach biographies. My students usually write about a famous person so this will be a great connection for my students. Also, I love that "Ramped Up Read Aloud" book and can't wait to check it out.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to start using the Hamburger anchor chart consistently throughout the year with my third graders. It's so much more helpful for them to rough draft and write complete paragraphs with that resource! I love the idea of incorporating read alouds as examples of mentor texts for informational writing. Students love seeing and hearing examples of writing from others.

# data[].attributes.body
I am looking forward to exploring "Ramped Up Read Aloud" for a variety of mentor stories. Also, it is nice to know more about integrating the Writer's Workshop Space for the various genres into the daily plans. I am so happy we have the Writing Revolution books as a researched resource for planning. Thank you for your time! :)

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to take a deeper dive into the ramped up read aloud resource. I would like to incorporate some shared writing and interactive writing as well. The McGraw Hill resource I did not know about and would take a look into that too. Thank you for presentation.

I love the idea of using Henry's Freedom Box as a mentor text to teach biography. I also thought the mentor text about "If I had an animal's hair" seemed very engaging.

Thank you for this awesome presentation! Thank you for showing where to find some great resources in McGraw Hill. We are currently writing our "how to" so the Essential 6 video was perfect to watch! I can't wait to use some of these practices and mentor text ideas in our next writing unit.

Thank you so much for the refresher about McGraw Hill's mentor essays, looked in there and also noticed that there are example essays that line up with how you would score on the rubrics. I wonder what other resources there are for having more mentor texts about diverse experiences.

Thank you, ladies! Great job! I am interested in checking out the MAISA writing units. I also love the mentor text suggestions. I will definitely incorporate some of those into my writing lessons.

Forgot about using Connect Ed as a resource.  I clicked on a mini-lesson on how to type and it was useful.  I remember I was in 7th grade and took a typing class but my 2nd graders need to know for the book we type at the end of the year.  Also, forgot about the book Ramped up Read Aloud...must get it out and look through it!
Thank you for your presentation!

Thanks for a great presentation ladies. I am always looking for great resources to help me teach writing.

Thank you for the PD. I appreciate the resources and explanations. My takeaways are to pull out mentor texts more (a lot of which I already own). With children missing so much writing during the pandemic-I can see what a benefit having that visual would be for them. I also took away a lot of resources including rubrics and graphic organizers. I have a better understanding of the essential practices and look forward to diving into our next writing piece.

Thank you for another great writing PD! I like that you showed us exactly where to find the resources in McGraw Hill. Also, we have been trying to find the rubrics needed to score our writing assignments, thank you for showing exactly where that is as well. Lastly, I love the mentor text options. I often forget some of the picture books I have. Seeing them in the presentation reminded me to pull them out and use them. I will be looking to see if we have the "Ramped up Read Aloud" book at our building. Thank you ladies.
