Writing Workshop Grade: 1st Unit 1: Small Moments ~ Writing With Focus, Detail, and Dialogue (Book 1) Unit Description: Small Moments: Writing With Focus, Detail, and Dialogue This first unit is designed to help your students work with independence, confidence, and stamina. Routines and procedures will be taught and reviewed. Students will be writing small moments: stories from their lives with small, clear focus, tremendous detail and elaboration. Most children should be able to write one or two sentences on each page, so they will need booklets containing both spaces for drawings and spaces for writing. The importance of drawing for planning should be stressed in this unit. In teaching writers to stretch out a story, they will draw the start on one page, then the next part on the next page, and whatever happened next on the third page. These drawings will help children stretch out and elaborate their stories. If need be, provide more support in small groups. In the ‘Writing for Readers’, portion of the unit, we push writers to write with proper use of writing conventions. As per the NJ Student Learning Standards, it is required that children will be able to write narrative texts with a level of proficiency, demonstrating a command of end punctuation, the ability to spell words with common patterns, and to be resourceful and phonetic in spelling unknown words. While continuing to write small moment stories from their own lives, students will be encouraged to use writing partnerships to help students make comments, ask questions, and provide suggestions to and from peers in order to lift the level of the writing. These partnerships set the expectation that we write so that our partners and others can read and understand our work. NJ Student Learning Standards Writing Standards: W.1.2 Write informative/explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and provide some sense of closure.
