BuyEverything for five weeks of writing workshop.
Mentor texts
Curated texts from writers who actually represent the genre. Personal narrative by contemporary memoirists. Persuasion from civic voices. Research from science communicators. Poetry from a global range of poets.
Craft minilessons
Focused craft topics to guide brief demonstrations and independent practice. The Persuasive pack includes six modeled demonstrations with a student task and a check for understanding.
Conferring questions
Structured conferring protocols for individual student writing conferences. Questions that open the writing rather than closing it with teacher judgment.
Equity notes
Notes for each week on representation, access, and how to honor the writing students bring from home. Because writing workshop that ignores who is in the room does not work.
