Went to an interview where I was asked if I had used the Lucy Calkins method. (Most schools here use 6 Traits) I'm a bit confused by some of my followup on the web. Questions: 1. Did Calkins "invent" Writer's Workshop? I have some experience with that structure, but never saw any official Calkins materials. 2. Does the Calkins method emphasize ONLY nonfiction/ "real life" writing? If so, I'd have to disagree with her on that. I like chicldren to experience all the genres. 3.Lastly, this school uses 4 Blocks. How does Calkins writing fit in with the writing block? With 6 Traits ideas? Your comments are appreciated. I need to write my thank you letter today and I wanted to followup on this topic. Thanks.
