I attended Lucy Calkins' Writing Workshop last Friday and
intended to ask her this question, but when I approached
her, I found her having to quickly leave the training to
catch her return flight home. So I thought I'd toss the
qeustion out to all of you in hopes that you can direct me
for the perfect resources.

What can of writing skills should I be teaching my students
(for the sake of me not staying in the same grade level -
let's say K-5)? Lucy mentioned, when retelling a story
about on mini-lessons, teaching surprising endings. What
resource has she, or any other respected writing teacher
(Murray, Graves, etc) written, so that I have a good
overall plan for teaching narrative and "All - About"
books - knowing what to expect from a student at various
levels?

Thanks for any suggestions.
