My district has recently put together a new K-8 writing
curriculum. Students have the opportunity to do Writer's
Workshop, but we also focus on modeling lessons on
paragraph writing. Our first and second graders are
expected to write an introduction, two body paragraphs (in
the first grade they are only three sentences), and a
conclusion. They use graphic organizers to guide their
writing. Some of our organizers and lessons are based on
materials from Gretchen Courtney consulting. Does anyone
have any ideas about how to present paragraph writing in
the primary grades? Is anyone else doing this kind of
writing with students?
