Helping Teachers Inspire Learners

Writers Workshop Lessons For 2nd and 3rd Grade Sentence Writing

Hello everyone,

Writers workshop lessons are a lot of fun for teachers and kids when everyone is engaged in the learning. I think you are going to love this set!  It is CRAMMED with anchor charts, vocabulary, new ideas and more to help you run a comprehensive writing program for your 2nd and 3rd graders.

This program is a systematic one that gives you set up ideas for each unit along with coordinating mini anchor charts/posters to help you teach everything included in the unit.  We use 4 mentor texts.  With each text, you will find 5 days of lessons to go with each book!  That allows you to teach a writing lesson each day, every day, for that month.  Because there are mentor texts, grammar lessons, read alouds, loads of interactive and conversational lessons in each unit, you will be providing your students with part of a balanced literacy program!

If you missed August/September (Unit 1)  you can click on the picture below.  This unit will help you to set up shop. 🙂  It includes pre-assessments too!

Unit 2 Overview

Let’s take a look at Unit 2 more closely. You will find teaching anchor charts on adjectives, nouns, and verbs. These coordinate with fun lessons to teach each one.  Once students understand what can go into a sentence, we then break it down into subject/predicate.  We then look deeper at subject and predicate and add details from the “5 W’s and an H” poster.  These concepts are taught in writers workshop lessons that use 4 mentor texts for this month. The lessons are not isolated, they scaffold each other to build confidence and understanding as students learn to write.  Kids respond much better to learning about conventions when it is taught this way. We also use a mentor text to look at mentor sentences. (Just how do great authors craft an interesting sentence?)

Writers Workshop Lessons

Writing is all about having fun and learning skills to let kids explore their creative side in a non-threatening way.  I have included lots of interactive lessons where students are working in pairs or groups and engaging in conversations about their ideas. You can find an interactive writers notebook to complement this unit here.

You will enjoy how all your writing lessons are planned for you right down to the tiniest detail with support materials and printables for students.

    Using a book unit to get the most out of every boo Using a book unit to get the most out of every book is what I love to do. Sometimes it’s effective to use a book to teach SEL to help support students in your classroom. Whatever your purpose, book units help you get the job done. It’s nice to have something to just print and teach to help you expand the learning and deepen the comprehension through full lessons plans, lists of tier 2 vocabulary and more.
