Writer's Workshop

My students have been working hard during our writer's workshop time. Here are some of the books I've used with my mini-lessons in the past few weeks. The focus of the mini-lesson is under each picture.

great wordless picture book - sharing stories with pictures

writers are called authors

illustrators draw pictures

We've made a few anchor charts to go with our first writer's workshop lessons this year.  Here are two of them.  The one on the left was inspired by Mrs. Carroll at The First Grade Parade.   I love her anchor charts!


I'll try to remember to take a few pictures of the other charts next week. 

I'm adding this post to an anchor chart linky party hosted by Tales of Frogs and Cupcakes.  Stop by to visit to check out the other anchor chart ideas.
