Letter+Writing+Unit

After our Tapped In conversation concerning rigorous writing, I have purposed that I would spend more time on writing instruction in my Intervention Class and in my coaching with the teachers. In my Sixth Grade Intervention class, I completed the novel __Dear Mr. Henshaw__ which opened the door for Writing to Learn and Writing to Demonstrate activities. I completed Writing to Learn activities in class with the resource teacher, Mrs. Milburn, and speech teacher, Mrs. Cockran collaborating with a Letter Writing Unit in Study Skills class.

The teachers did an excellent job on this unit. The students showed such enthusiasm while meeting the Core Content Standards. After completing this base unit in their study skills class we continued with business letter writing, persuasive writing and then personal expression. Each time making sure that they had an authentic purpose and audience.

The Friendly Letter Writing Unit is complete with unit and daily lesson plans, activities, powerpoint, handouts, bell work, and assessments.
