rubrics, etc.). for next time. If I notice that many students feel they needs
help or that they don’t get it we would then re-teach the
lesson.
3. Explain how to access Exit slip The exit slip provides a place for students to ask for help
resources and additional and also hints at how they can receive that help (Partner or
support when needed (and Teacher).
how/why those resources
will help them).
h. Grouping of Students for Instruction:
At the carpet students will be taught in a whole group setting. Students will then work individually during
writer’s workshop at their tables.
During the brain break before the start of the lesson students will be split into two groups in order to
participate in teams. To be fair students will number off one and two and pick a team representative to
choose answers.
Teacher: “That’s right! Now that we have finished our story I want to revisit our KWL chart. We still have to
fill out the L column of our chart. “Now that you have seen my story, when do you capitalize letters?” Can
someone tell me something you learned about capital letters today?”
Students will say that you capitalize words at the beginning of a sentence, we will write this and other
responses down in the L column of the KWL chart.
Teacher: “That’s right. Now before you go to your desk to write your story I want you to make sure that your
story has at least one sentence. Remember to capitalize the first letter and leave the rest lowercase. You can
look at the KWL chart and the example on the board if you need help. You can also ask a partner for
clarification as well. If you need help remembering what a letter looks like you have your personal folders that
have a list of sight words as well. I will walk around the room to help you as needed. Does anyone have any
questions related to this?”
Once questions are answered I will dismiss students one by one from the carpet by saying their name
when I notice they are sitting quietly and ready to start the next portion of writer’s workshop. During
the next portion of writer’s workshop students will work independently and write a story of their own
choosing. They will draw a picture to match what their story is about. The remainder of the lesson will
be used for this writing time. It is during this period of time that I will assess if students are meeting the
objectives. See the assessment portion above for more information
1. Independent Practice:
At each student’s desk, they will write a story of their own choosing. They will write one sentence about their
picture and start it with an uppercase letter while making sure the rest of the letters are lowercase.
