Since then, we were able to find some possible pieces on Newsela, but that resource often works by removing text from larger pieces - we found that the reasons felt half-baked. We eventually were able to project out a unit, but it never felt quite as strong as the other units we projected because the mentors were all over the place. I once heard an editorial written by a third-grader on the radio, and I have clutched that with all my might - it was luck hearing that one.. But where else can we find good, accessible professional mentor texts for persuasive/opinion?]]> 2021-04-12 09:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1406524371 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1407144110 It's great to have devoted time to think through units. I worked with Matt at my last school and love the idea of pulling stacks and that teachers also write a piece before the unit starts so we know what it's like as well. Thinking about where to find good mentor texts that kid have written to inspire our students.

Sorting student work is hard since it's all digital, but we were able to share our screens to share examples of student work. Planning bends the way I would normally is challenging/different because we don't write every day (we can send 2 activities every day to the kids, so for G3 it means they are writing 2-3 times per week). The kids lose momentum between the weeks so the bends are more disjointed than normal.

Wants
More virtual teaching ideas. Since teaching virtually is new for all of us, it would be great to hear what other schools/teachers/EKC suggests doing to best teach writing virtually, especially in the early years when kids are still acquiring foundational skills. ]]> 2021-05-05 13:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1493819116 erin77 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513139683 Jennifer Serravallo]]> 2021-05-11 13:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513139683 erin77 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513144946 Fisher, Frey, Hattie]]> 2021-05-11 13:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513144946 erin77 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513254430 Fisher, Frey, Hattie]]> 2021-05-11 13:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513254430 erin77 https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/G3_4ProjectingUnitsWriting/wish/1513309536 M.
