Reader’s Workshop is comprised of three parts: a short lesson on a skill (taken from the Common Core Standards), independent reading time during which I will conference with students, and time to write about what they read and practice using the skill taught in the short lesson. Reader’s Workshop will allow students to read a variety of texts from different genres. They will be required to read a certain number of texts from each of the major literary genres, including nonfiction. Students will participate in at least two “Book Talks” each trimester in which they suggest a book to the class and give a short synopsis. This is a very brief presentation and students will receive a schedule to prepare. They will also write at least two “Book Reviews” per trimester based on a book they have read. This will be done in class. We will also be reading various novels out loud in class and using Accelerated Reader in addition to the above. Writing We will be using Writer’s Workshop this year as well. Just like Reader’s Workshop, it is composed of three parts: a short lesson on a skill (taken from the Common Core Standards), independent writing time to practice the skill during which I will conference with students, and time to share what they have worked on. Students will also be writing a novel in the spring. In addition, students will practice their writing skills as they correspond with Pen Pals.

We will be using a form of Reader’s Workshop this year. Reader’s Workshop is comprised of three parts: a short lesson on a skill (taken from the Common Core Standards), independent reading time during which I will conference with students, and time to write about what they read and practice using the skill taught in the short lesson.
Reader’s Workshop will allow students to read a variety of texts from different genres. They will be required to read a certain number of texts from each of the major literary genres, including nonfiction.
Students will participate in at least two “Book Talks” each trimester in which they suggest a book to the class and give a short synopsis. This is a very brief presentation and students will receive a schedule to prepare. They will also write at least two “Book Reviews” per trimester based on a book they have read. This will be done in class.
We will also be reading various novels out loud in class and using Accelerated Reader in addition to the above.
Writing We will be using Writer’s Workshop this year as well. Just like Reader’s Workshop, it is composed
of three parts: a short lesson on a skill (taken from the Common Core Standards), independent writing time to practice the skill during which I will conference with students, and time to share what they have worked on.
