Note: I am planning to use this as a template for sharing resources, directions, etc... at the start of each week. You can still edit the Slides as the week progresses (flexibility).

A weekly lesson planner with a web app-like design.

A new weekly planner for educators! Using just one file to compile all your resources (videos, audios, images and text) for each day, makes distance learning a bit easier and gives structure to your students.

This one features a calendar on the first slide that you can update by editing the master. It includes 4 activities per day. You can navigate to them within each day.

If you wish to change its colors, go to Slide > Edit Master and modify its accent colors.

I've added an "Archive" tab, where you can add buttons with links to the previous weeks files. Once the week is complete, make a copy of your planner, name it after the week it corresponds to and add a link to it in the Archive.

If you wish to hide the navigation bar in Google Slides when sharing the link:

Go to share, get the link and replace everything from /edit to the end of the URL with /preview?rm=minimal

ATTENTION GOOGLE SLIDES USERS: PLEASE, DO NOT REQUEST FOR ACCESS. If you are prompted to "Request for access·" (sometimes it happens when you are logged in more than one Google account or when you are logged in a Google for Education account and your IT Admin has blocked the access), you can try again by logging in a personal Gmail account, and signing out of all the other accounts.

The other workaround is for you to download the pptx file, upload it to your Google Drive, and open it as Google Slides.

Home / Overview - Workshop Framework

Reading and writing workshops are deliberately designed to offer a simple and predictable environment so that the teacher can focus on the complex work of observing students' progress and teaching into their needs.

Each session begins with a minilesson. Kids sit with a long-term partner while in the minilesson.

The minilesson ends with the kids being sent off to their own independent work.

As students work, the teacher confers with them and leads small groups.

Partway through independent work time, the teacher stands and delivers a mid-workshop teaching point.

The workshop ends with a share.

A Closer Look at the Components of Reading and Writing Workshops

Pioneered by Lucy Calkins and her TCRWP colleagues and refined over decades of research and piloting with thousands of teachers, Lucy Calkins' 5-part workshop framework offers the perfect combination of whole-class, small-group, one-on-one instruction, and independent practice:
Minilessons
The brief minilessons that begin each day in reading and writing workshop are a time for teacher-led explicit instruction. While the content of minilessons will change from day to day, the architecture remains largely the same, allowing students to anticipate how this time goes. Minilessons contain four component parts:
Work Time (Students should have 35-45 minutes to work independently each day while the teacher confers and leads small groups.)
The most important words of the minilesson are the final ones: "Off you go." Then students disperse to their work spots to read or write. As students work, they will draw on a repertoire of strategies, developed across the days of the unit (and across other units, too).

While students work independently, the teacher cirulates among them, observing their progress, conferring with individuals, and leading small group work.
